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.
