Re: need advice ASAP.
How on earth did you manage to let your tyre get in this state in the first place??? :o
What bike do you ride?
When you say the white stuff do you mean the cord/fibres are showing?? If this is the case then I would definitely NOT ride it. That's shocking!

Re: need advice ASAP.
Do you have a recovery policy?
Personally I wouldn't ride it in that state.
Can you lock it up and walk home until you can get it sorted?

its a gsxr750, thats what i ment yeah the fibrres, i new i needed new tyers but thought it would last bit longer, i dnt have savings so i cnt just go out and buy a set of tyers like most people mate.
no cnt lock it and leave it and no dnt have recovery and even if i did cnt phone them coz my phone cut off, god sake, it can only get worse lol :(

Maybe it's time to get a pushbike?
Owning a vehicle of any description is never cheap. You always have to budget for tyres, servicing, tax, insurance etc
I guess if you plodded home at 10-20mph then you may be ok but get pulled over by the police (attracting attention to yourself doing that speed) then you are looking at points and a fine and even worse, a prohibition on your bike.
It's your shout at the end of the day.

Re: need advice ASAP.
I really don't think you should ride it like it is.
If it was a car, then I might take a chance for a short distance, but not on two wheels.
Do you have a mate with the car?
Could you push the bike to the nearest house and ask a neighbour to look after it, whilst you take the wheels off to get them fixed?

dnt know anyone around where i live coz only been here few months hun. my fiancee has a car but she is sailsbury today i think. i will prob just try and ride it home or push it some of the way . it be cool

Re: need advice ASAP.
I wouldn't risk riding it if the fibres are showing...if it blows and you end up going down the road it'll be a LOT more expensive than just a new tyre. time to push it home I think....not worth the risk to your life, the bike, your driving license, insurance etc...

Re: need advice ASAP.
Sorry to say I wouldnt ride it like that.....that is asking for trouble in either the way of a blow out or the cops pulling you over and giving either a ticket/fine...
If it has got to this point I would say you have been riding on the limit for a while.....I watch out doing that sir...
