Default Somebody explain this one....

...Cuz I sure as hell can't, hahah

Got home from work this evening and I needed to lube my chain, so I park the bike and walk up the hill to my little shed and grab my rear stand and chain lube, and I'm walking back down and see something in my tire. I get a little closer and.... "what the...... ?!?!"

Now I've put alot of miles on my bike, and in that time I've also picked up ALOT of nails, especially when I was down in Florida cuz the roads are filthy down there. Hell the very first front tire that was ever on this bike died from a nail, lol. That being said, I've never before seen one go in like this. Had them go in and then bend over, but never just shoot straight across through the tread like this and not puncture the tire.... very strange

Your tire was just trying to be rebellious with a new piercing.
You're so controlling, Jared.

But yeah, that's messed up. I've never seen that before on a bike.

Possibly next year! I'm tentatively planning a loooong roadtrip from NC to Monterey, Cali for the MotoGP races at Laguna Seca. Thinking of just doing a big loop, take the northern route on the way out there, and the southern route on the way back. If my plans come together and I end up making it out there, I'll definitely swing through Houston
