no flat's yet (knock on wood) been kinda lucky, gona ride down to the O C ( the urban jungle to me)[:'(] this monday to visit my daughter she turn's 17 so I'am hopin that my luck hold's. sorry about your luck though, I hate any thing that stop's a brother from riden his bike[:@]

 

well the tire is fix, i got it fix last night, they patch it from the inside, but yea $250 USD for these back tires, guess I am going to have to find some cheaper tires, but it all good now..

 

P, glad your back up... did the service mngr, talk to you about... patches ????? there arn't (i hear) the hot setup, espec. if you go fast, carve, ect. i seams to make alot of dif., where the punture is... center, side, and how, angle, obvious cord damage, ect. I would hate "eat'n a tire... but id' hate much more... have'n that tire delaminate at speed !!!!!!!!!! go on line ... and read up, plugs and patches, are generaly considerd a way to get you home and back off to the tire place. clean and free, Ripp'n Ps. check MAW or chapperal, best deals for me...

 

Yea I have had to many of my riding buddys tell me that I need to just get a new tire, witch I will do this monday, beside them **** heads down at the honda shop put my back tire on backwards. danw they must be noobs down there,

 

Same happened to me, 500 miles on a brand new bike. I plugged it, rode to the shop, paid $187 and figured that I got lucky it happened at home where Ihave a compresser and a car to get my bike going. At least it didn't go flat while you were screaming down the interstate.
