Hi everyone...
Most of you know that i have to ride my bike early in the morning to railway station as i have to catch my local train. It runs 100kms to my job place and there is no second local train either in the morning session. Months ago, i was about to start my bike and oh... no, its punctured.
... What could i do then? i called to the head of the institution about my problem and it was okay from him. Next, i opened the wheel and brought it to nearest workshop but my whole days became annoying. Years ago, i had to pushed my bike walking myself around 3 kms to a workshop due to the same reason.
Share your worst experience regarding tyre puncture of your vehicle. I know its a bitter experience to have with.
Thanks in advance.

Night 12:30 am. Returning from Sambalpur to some place called Burla - a distance of about 20 kilometers. It is a stormy and raining night and we are two friends on a bike returning after dropping a colleague at the railway station. And on return, you end up with a flat tyre
Only way to survive a safe return - do not wait, keep pushing the bike. Because if you stay somewhere, you will be eaten up by some wild animal or killed by some Naxalite.
We continued pushing taking turns and it took us 7 hours to reach to our room. I will never forget that one... We also had to cross a cemetry and a hospital room where they do the post mortems... and we both had been hearing horror stories of those places being haunted

Hiya shibs,
How bad for you to have to go through that as if you don´t have to travel far enough already. We had our four tyres stolen from the Car and the Car itself was placed on bricks to support it now that was nice and thoughtful of them don´t you think (grin).
So we were left stranded and with no money at all to be able to repair the Car or anything and it was a Holiday on top.
I felt near to tears that Day as it meant he could go to Work either.
However luck had it we managed to get by and get the Car repaired by a Mechanic Friend who we could pay later on.
So we know what it feels like to be left stranded by right outside your own House.
I can laugh about it now but I did not feel like laughing then I can tell you.xxx

hat is one experience just one of the many.

Hiya shibs,
Friend very good Friend yes where would we have been without him? We did pay him as well on time but we did not have the cash on the same Day as most would want you know so he was a God send really was.
I would want to return the same kind of thing you know help him out some other way if he ever needed that.
Can laugh now at that situation but I can tell it was not very funny to see your Car with no wheels on it and only supported by bricks.
Did not have anyone to lend us the money either you see so he is a very good trusting Friend yes.xxx

Oh!! that is my worst experience i can say. My friends and I went out by car and on the way there was a beach and we decided to go to beach first and then to our destination. We went there while coming back it was huge thick forest and there our car tyre got puncture!!!! I don't know how it got punctured. Then it was a time to change the tyre we don't have one more tyre to replace. Then two of us went in search of mechanic and it took approximately two hours to find him and to replace the tyre totally it took around 5 to 6 hours!!!! thats also in Forest!!!! That was my worst experience. From that day i decided whenever i go out with friends then all kinds of precautions will be there for sure.

I also had a miserable experience six months back. It was 2 to 6 pm class. I brought my scooter and kept it in my cousin's house and both of us went in his car. We returned around 7.15 pm in his car to his house. I started the scooter. I found the back wheel punctured. Believe I made a search for nearby shop for nearly one hour. I could not get one because two or three puncture shops were closed.
I had to bring another mechanic from near my house to my cousin's house next day and got the puncture solved and I brought the vehicle. Totally I had to incur more than the cost of a tube - yes more than Rs.300 for this including auto charges.
I was not having a spare wheel and hence I had to face this problem.
have a good day.

Once... i had to push my bike for same reason but when i began to pant.... i rode the bike on a slow speed.... but when the mechanic opened the tube... there were thousands of hole... and i had to pay almost 500 rs. Hope no puncture for the next time.
Have a nice day.

I had an ugly experience some years back. I was going for a job interview in Abuja ( Nigeria ) I took a public or commercial bus half way through to the end of journey our vehicle tyre got punctured by a share object thrown by a passerby. The incident occurred at a remote location and it was very far from where my bus driver can get a vehicle mechanic or technician. He had to stop a motorcyclist who was passingby to take him with the punctured tyre to get it fixed up. This process took about 2 hours 30 minutes. It was quite a disturbing event for me because I was actually travelling to attend a job interview which is scheduled for the next day. But I had to get to Abuja before night time to enable me find a hotel.
I was also very disturbed because the incident happened in a quiet location and it is very possible for armed gangs to attack us and steal our money. But I thank God our driver managed to get the tyre fix up and we continued the journey but I arrived Abuja ( Nigeria ) around 7pm in the evening. It was a very disturbing experience I had but I thank God

Hi friend..
You are lucky, at least you reached the place before interview. There were many worse experiences like you in my life. All are related to bus which got punctured at the midst of thee journey but thanks to the workers that they carried a spare type with them.
Have a nice day.
