Default Rocker C rear tire going flat!

I'm sitting here waiting on the HD store to come and pick up my Rocker. I went to go for a ride last weekend and was attempting to push the bike out of the garage to start her up and it would hardly budge. I checked the tire pressure and it was barely registering[:@] I looked, but did not see any puncture, so it may be a leaky valve. Hopefully it will get taken care of today and she will be available for the long weekend. If not, I still have Big Red sitting in the garage

Also, it appears the tire and wheel coverage I bought my actually pay for itself with this tow and repair.[8D]

I'll keep you posted on what the cause was.

You don't have a compressor?

Yes, I do. As soon as I inflate it to 38 lbs., it starts to lose air. Upon further inspection, I found the cause. A small piece of metal lodged right smack in the middle of that big *** tire. Good to know the cause and hopefully and easy, no cost fix due to my coverage.
