Default My tire whoas....

well some might rember talking about tires a couple of weeks ago. i said that i ran over a razor blade, some of ya'll said it to besabotauge. so last weekend i take my wheel down and get me a new dunlop qaulifier put on. sweet!! well i rode all week commuting to work. saturday i had to go about 40 miles down the freeway to pick up something, then after i had yardwork to do[:'(]. so sunday morning like a kid on christmas run out to my bike to go for a sunday cruize. Bamm flat tire againi found a inch n1/2 woodscrew in my tire. i could barley get the pit bull stand under it it was so flat.so sabotauge is out on this one. i said they put magnetic wheels on[>:]But i have now came to the conclusion that there is a voodoo witch out there that i cut off in traffic one day with a model of my bike and she's sticking some new object in my tire onc a week lol[&:]184 dollars for thattire mounting and balancing included. but 184 bucks a week is a $$$ pricey hobbie...lol mind you this will be my fourth tire since i bought the bike in may of 07 not even a year ago[:@]i just turned 7500 miles on the clock....WTF!! oh yeah spellcheck

a wood screw should be an easy patch job though not a new tire.

still think i'd just patch the hole from a screw - shouldn't affect the tread at all, just keep it from leaking.

No one will patch motrcycle tires around here...I tried last summer when I had a flat after 300 miles on a new tire, had to buy a new one. Flat was caused by something resembling a standard office staple...WTF? Gotta pay to play I guess.
