today was my day started out for a ride about 50 miles into it ,my son pulls up along side me and says there is something in my tire . so we pull over and there is a 1/2 inch bolt in it i call my dealer and see if they have a tire they do .
great i will there in 2 hours start heading that way get about 20 miles back and bolt comes out and flat . called dealer which is about 65 miles from me and tell them its flat we will come get you.so about a hour later they show up load it go to dealer get it changed have them put Dyna beads in new tire.

There are for balancing the tire, the idea is to constantly balance your tire through the life of the tire.
