My rear tire got nailed for the third time in eight weeks last night.  OK, technically the second time I got screwed but either way that was my third rear flat in eight weeks.  This time it was my new Goodyear TT with just over 1K miles that I put on because the screw entered too close to the sidewall to fix 'er. 

For you Darkside naysayers, I drove all three flats home and fixed them in my driveway; try that with a MC tire.

On a dark note, I am curious how the Dyna beads are going to react to a plugged tire.  I drove in this morning and she seemed to ride as smooth as before; but I am curious if the beads will all stick to the plug and throw the tire out of balance.

Please indicate your route to the meeting tonite so that I don't go that way.  You are a magnet for nails!

Maybe Chuck should change his handle to "Nailmaker". 2funny

Sorry to hear it Chuck on a tire so young.

Mark; if you ride through Allen on the way to Plano coming from Arlington you should change your handle to lost.   laugh
