Flat tire

Ain’t this a bitch. It is a good thing I opted for the maximum AAA services, because between the motorcycles and cages, something is always breaking down.

I took off in the morning knowing it would be a stormy ride. I got hit going through the small town of Ione. Riding in a storm is nothing new to me but one thing about riding on hard rain, you can see what is under the area where puddles have formed or the depth of a pothole.

As it turned out I ran over a big ass nail or spike. I got it dead center of the wheel. This would normally be a plug fix, but in this instance the nail caused a slight tear using a plug was out of the question.

One this is for certain, I was actually fortunate getting the flat after work, I was able to wait for a tow at the convenience of my work lobby.
