Default Damn my tire luck...

Walk out to the garage this morning, rear tire is flat as a pancake. This is the second bike I've owned, that I've gotten a nail in the tire within a few months of owning it! I'm hoping all that needs replaced is the tube.

The stance does look pretty sick though...now the flat has got me wanting to slam the bob. Hehe

I had a rear tire go flat on my gsxr while I was at work... bike only had 800 miles on it. Picked up a nail right on the edge of the sidewall. It was a fun adventure trying to get the bike home, at least yours is in the garage.

Sucks man. Here's hoping the tire is salvageable and you only need a new tube.

I'm hoping the tire is salvageable. It's only got about 2000mi on it. Nail is right through the center of the tire, so hopefully they can replace the tube and patch the tire.

Thats always a bummer.

I got a nail in the tire of my shadow, BUT I got super lucky! Picked it up on the edge of the tire tread in a corner near a construction site and only reason I knew was because it was poking back out and hitting my brake rod. It missed the tube, so I pulled it out and rode on!
