Nailed again

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".
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.
