My luck holds up. I order new tires... due in today so I put her up on stands and tear the rims down. And the tires never show up. Wow... does this always happen to me?????
Anyways, thought you all would get a kick out of seeing my bike grounded. I can't put the rims back on either cause the rear is flat. I found a drywall screw in it... oops.

The pipe wasn't anyone's fault... but the company Yoshi buys their carbon fiber from. The shop motodiablo.com is great.
I ordered from a different place that's closer, because I didn't want to wait long. My rear is really bad.
I feel your pain, theres nothing worse than waiting for a part so you can ride again

I share a parking lot with a company that builds and repairs metal screen porches. I used to pick up 2-3 dozen screws a week. Ended up having both tires go flat on me. Had to buy all new tires, $300 later, i went across the street with my boss, and, informed them that if I get any more screws in the tires, they'll be buying me tires. They then had one of thier guys start keeping the parking lot clean. But, I feel your pain bro!! I also agree, bike still looks hot without tires.

The first rule of upgrades: Don't start the disassembly phase until all replacement parts have arrived
