Tire question

I had a blowout on the freeway, was going to have the bike towed to a shop and then have the tires delivered there but all shops were closed on monday

So i had it towed to my home. Not i have the tires at my house my bike at my house and no way to get it to the shop (dont own any 4 wheeled vehicles) Anyone have any suggestions on what i can do besides pay for another tow.

any and all info appreciated

If you don't want to attempt to change the tire yourself just pull the wheel off the bike and get it to a shop. Call a buddy with a cage, take a bus, whatever.

Some shops have free pickup and drop off. Call around and see what you can find. The shop I use here in MA does. Only thing is you have to buy the tire from them, it is usually the same price as online, plus they guarantee the date on the tire is not older than a year.

Good luck!!

You don't have a buddy or neighbor with a truck willing to help you out.

Call the tow company and get it towed to the shop. Doesn't really matter where the bike is if you have a problem and need help.

talked to a local guy and his tow is only 60 bucks- so i guess i am going that route. I lived for a long time in san diego and havent met anyone up here with a truck...guessing its the gas prices. Thanks for all your help guys
