A couple of lads on the BMW forum have just knocked theirs back into shape with a rawhide hammer with the tyre at normal pressure. Might be worth contacting any wheel specialist via email anyway, the last thing you want is to crack the rim.

I have a deadblow hammer and a rawhide one but will do more research ad asking around first the tyre is holding 30psi and the ding is only 1-2mm

Albert King, a year earlier.

He's right it is an Albert King cover and a good one too, and also done more recently by Robin Trower on his Roots and Branches album and Joe Bonamassa did an absolutley storming version of it on his Chicago blues live tribute 'At the Greek' CD/DVD. But yes definitely showing my age but good music is good music however old and the Albert King CD is worth checking out if you've not heard it!

Maybe Jerry's sold his soul on the crossroads and is now the victim of some ancient voodoo curse?

Slobs heard it lol. Live at the Greek I mean. So what about his version of 'Going Down' on there Is that just about the best version you've heard? I've heard many versions but that version just smokes 'em all. The whole thing is great. Reece Wyans on keys for gods sake. My Mrs says its's Jazz but she don't understand the Chicago blues well enough

Don't miss Peter Green off the list..

Always think of Cream every time I ride past Hoveton Village Hall. They played there once, when they were at the height of their fame.. Nobody quite knows how or why!
