It is only when we have lost everything that we are free to do anything.

I guess it's the luck of the draw then. I've had 3 rear tyre deflations, all pretty gradual, (1 on the RF and 2 on the Trumpy).Originally Posted by merv
In every case, it was when the tyre was getting close to replacement time.
I remain surprised at just how thin motorcycle tyres are however. There really isn't much rubber between the air and the road.
I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I always was.

Man, its been a long time since I had a rear go, but I am always in some fear of the front going.
Keep off the anchors if it does?

Ya, I was thinking that, couldnt have happened in a worse place.
FINE. This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

Oh well, a new Avon Storm is going on the back today...
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

One new Avon Storm AV56ST 180/55-17 fitted nicely. Just needs mounting back on the bike and scrubbed in.
Damn. And it's custody weekend too. Always happens like that doesn't it...
Let's add another $300 to the KB Spend-athon. Makes it nearly a grand for me this month.
Anyway - check out the hole in the old (hah!) tyre.
Not good. Very large.
Mac at Maidstone gave me the tyre back. Says Beaurepaires can throw a mushroom fix in the hole and it'll get me by in an emergency.

That looks like just the right sort of hole to have a plug in it. Slits are the ones that are no good.
