First Flat on my 09 Street Bob!

Of course it was on Sunday and I was almost an hour away from the dealer and my house. Good news is it went down easy and I wasn't even sure what was going on at first. Yep, it was my rear tire! Called HOG and they sent some idiot to tow my bike. Man, was I sweating waiting on this guy to show up at the dealer. Wife was not happy to come find me. She had to use the gps to even know where I was.

At least 5 people stopped to offer help. Male, female, young, and old. Kinda cool and surprising.

Anyone know what the new tire will cost?

I feel for ya as I was stranded a couple weeks ago.

Probabky looking around $250 - $300 for the tire, tube, rim strip, mount, balance, install at a dealer.

I got my first flat 8 miles after I took delivery............sucks.

Think about upgrading to a 180 and get it over with since its already on the lift.
