Protip: Do not store miscellaneous sharp pointy bits in the back tire of your motorcycle. It compromises handling.





The two little bits didn’t go through. The big flat one did. Stuck a gooey string plug in it. Don’t have time to tear it down today. Since I run a fat, juicy car tire on the back, the plug should hold fine until I have time to deal with it.

Now…I see some storms I need to be riding in!

Daniel, you have the bestest luck in gathering road debris in your back tires.

I do seem to bring rather a lot of steel bits home with me... Smiley

Daniel

Impressive display of metal

Are you running a mud flap behind your front wheel

Just had a nail plugged in my wife's TT rear tire today as well

Maybe its from that asteroid that just missed earth

Lots-O-miles can equal lots-O-flats I guess. Smiley

No, I don't have one. I don't like the look. Thought about hanging one under the bike in front of the back tire (like from the swing arm in front of the tire), but I've never gotten around to it. Maybe a "V" shape (with the point of the "V" facing forward).

Daniel:     I don't really like the look of a front flap either, but since I put one on MGM, it has reduced my rear flats ten-fold.    I'll not say how long it has been cause then I know I'll get one.

Does ya have a bell hanging from the bike to get rid of those little gremlins, one someone has given ya?

Oh yeah! I've had a gremlin bell on my bikes for near 35 years.

I've even worn several out!

Wore/cracked the bell off this one from dragging it too much...
