Flat Tire

I have been putting some miles on the LTD trying to get everything settled in. I rode it to town and bought some gas and stopped by the Root Beer stand and flirted with the girls.
The guy i was sitting with is leaving and i look outside and there are black clouds to the horizon.

I jumped on the bike and started to the house 13 miles away. I turned left at a 4 way stop and the bike nearly came around with me. The pavment was dry. I'm back up to 60 and the bike don't feel good. I look down and i have a rear tire going down. Five miles to go.

Made it home holding the bike as straight as i could. Probably 2 lb. of air in the tire. :S

Not a nice feeling!

glad your ok roy....years back i saw a goldwing on a steep grade with a sidewall blowout in anew dunlop with full gear and two riders......give us an update on the suspected cause.....it is a mag?tube? ect...ive had slow leaks but never a flat...scary stuff.....

Roy, glad you made it home hope tire is O K, just wondering did you have pump,plugs,patches,iron for repair if needed? wonder how many riders carry the kits for repair, I have always been told call home bring truck take it to a repair station, ya i know lotta work both ways, i do carry the kit with Co2s. regards Duke

I didn't check the tire out as the wind was blowing 30+ mph and i had to button up the shop and secure cover on motorcycle.

I keep plugs for emergency. I'll have the tire dismounted and patched on the inside.

I use to roof and i broke a tire down once and it had three roofing nails in it.

I had a rear to go down suddenly once and it dismounted itself. Shades of motoX with 500 lbs.:laugh:
