I'm a lucky girl

Getting my Spyder ready for the trip to Spyderfest and my new tires were delivered today. I guess it was just in the nick of time as I had a nail in one. Last summer I hit a car starter and took out my rear tire and the replacements were waiting at home.

We we are replacing rear wheel bearings and installing the new Pitbull Bypass with exhaust in black.

. Funny thing is the tire didn't lose any air. It was a little one 1/2" or so.

No, I used to use Ride-on but haven't in a long time.

....I'll bet it probably wouldn't have either, that far over on the tread I don't think 1/2 inch would have broke through .....................:dontknow:............Mike :thumbup:

Ann,

May luck be always on your side. I have had nails in my tires and the last one was on my 03 Road King that was so long that it went though the center and out the sidewall by the rim and was two inches above the rim.

For starters -----I try to avoid them:thumbup:

See you and Joe next week :2excited:

:agree:, but it likely would have caused trouble sooner or later, perhaps by compromising the integrity of the sidewall. Good thing it wasn't a Kenda OEM tire.
