Breakfast w/a member and tires

[choptop]

John/jm21ddd15 gave me a call and said he was going to be in my area and wanted to know if I wanted to ride, said sure, scheduled to meet him half way from where he was overnighting , have breakfast and ride. Woke up[ to a flat tire, hadn't ridin in a week... I have had more trouble w/tires on this bike in the last 3 years than I have had driving a car in 50. Both stock valve stems left me stranded, car tire w/leak on way to rally last year and flat car tire this morning. Drove the car up and had breakfast. Love the bike, had the tire problems.

That's just her way of telling you you weren't supposed to ride today. Had a fjr years ago that wouldn't start right before a trip. When my buddy came by with the trailer. I commented I was tempted to trade her off on a HD. Tried one more time, tired right up. Never caused me a lick of trouble in another 12k miles. Was it the sight of the trailer or being threatened with a trip to the HD dealer? I think it was her way of telling me to stay home.

A flat tire can be viewed as an Achilles heel on a motorcycle... unless you have/carry a spare (which we can't/don't).
