Blew my tire
Yesterday I was on my way to see the g/f at about 9 that night and had about a mile left to go when my rear tire decided to cease existing at 75-80mph. Fun fun. I rode it to a stop and got off to inspect it. Having no other choice I rode it to her house and parked it (luckily I was on the last straight leading to her driveway, so I was able to creep down the shoulder and didn't have to make any turns except into her driveway). Well, this morning I went out to look it over in the light and I had a huge *** staple embedded in it! I'll try and get pics up soon.

Re: Blew my tire
that's quite a ****** hole
last tire i put on was a $165.oo diablo. let a buddy do an endo on my bike an he set it down on a razor blade putting a 1 1/2 in. gash in 2 day old tire. had to patch it but the patch didn't hold. i had to air up my tire every morning cause it would go flat over night.

Re: Blew my tire
if u dont wanna spend money on a tire go to a shop and ask for their recycle pile go through it and find some decent ones, patch em and there ya go extra tires... its costs them about 2 bux a tire to have them picked up and recycled so theyd rather have them off their hands... i dont know if u knew that already but i have like 6 tires in my garage that are in decent condition because of that pile haha...
