I was going about 40 mph when it wasn't leaning and responding properly. I went into the next curve, and it fought me and wobbled quite bad. (Not too bad, but bad). By the time I pulled over, I knew what had happened. I was less than a mile from my house. A full blowout could be devastating. |

Doug | I never had a flat on a bike, knock wood, and I'm darn glad of it. I was always scared of a blowout at freeway speed, especially a front. | |

Anyways, here is the update: Dealer said that they are not allowed to patch tires there. He said, since it has a tube, I could get away with taking it somwhere to get patched, but it wasn't a safe idea. I decided to order a new tube and tire, and save my old tire and have it patched. That way I have a spare if I ever need it. Almost 300 bucks damage including the tow and labor. =( |

Sorry to hear that. You don't have a fix kit in your toolkit? Good luck with it. |
