[Kento-Moto]

The CHP cruises by real slow given me da eye... ( musta seen me taken a leek on da side of da road

) anyway nice day and a bicyclist happens by and I get him to take a pic.

 

[Kento-Moto]

I am about 30 miles from home and the road is WIDE OPEN! yeeeehaw!

 

[Kento-Moto]

New tire is just gettin broke in and I am site seeing and havin a good ol time... I blaze up a hill and into a few corners but the road turns bumpy and quite a bit of water seeping up so I kick down to a crawl... ah ha! CHP right around the corner sittin and waitin for me ... I wave... haha buddy not today, I am on a roll.

After lunch in the town of Paradise, I blast off to my fav canyon, but its pushin a temperature of 45 brrrrrrrrr. so I turn around and stop at a nice vista point to take a few shots before headin home.

 

[Kento-Moto]

Then ............... uh oh! all the good mojo just ran out.
40 miles from home at least the cel phone still had signal,
did I mention this tire only had about 100 miles on it? .... arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggg!

 

[Kento-Moto]

So uuuuuuuuuuuuh how was your sunday?

 

[Revlis]

I was working all day... so I will say that the old Cliche, "the worst day riding is still better than the best day working" holds true.

Why didn't you have a spare tire handy anyway?

 

[VaBusa]

The area looks awesome for riding! Sorry it was cold...and the tire gave out!

 

[dezzy7]

Well at least you got a short ride in... What happened to the tire??? By the way one thing I've started carrying with me besides my cell phone is a tire repair kit. Basically its a plug and the CO2 cartriges to fill up a flat. I don't particular like to plug, but i like leaving my baby alone on the highway even less...

 

[Got-Busa?]

Nice pics, at least you didn't get popped by the Highway Patrol man!

Any ride you can walk away from is a good ride, sorry about the flat!

Riding a flat is one way to get rid of those em-bare-assing chicken strips!

Glad you had a good ride tho!

Been too wet here to tip the bike over much on the new tire but i had plans before this happened, sheeeeesh!

Oh and i forgot to mention, I found a nail of some sort, my cousin to rescue with his compressed airafter we fill tire... there's another bigger hole with nuthin in it! I filled tire 5 x goin home. But thanx for the nice thoughts guys & girl. yes any safe ride with no tickets is a good one. Ride on!

I didn't get out yesterday, it was tree trimming time with the kids. (priorities)

But...I have Mondays off, so while all,y'all are werkin' I hope to be zippin' up the Crest. I'll keep an eye pealed for nails and CHP. And maybe a few pics...

 

[justintime2]

[tommyB]

Kent look at it this way, back when you were in Hawaii if you were 40 miles from home with a flat you had bigger problems than the tire.

 

[HP Junkie]

So uuuuuuuuuuuuh how was your sunday?

shoveled a foot of the white stuff. dont look here for a lot of sympathy! jk, glad you got to ride it home sans ticket

 

[jwcfbd]

Looks like a great day for a ride and that sucks about the tire.

I saw American Chopper last night and they fixed a nail hole in the tire with a bigger screw.

I got out yesterday but my son used my camera and when I got to a nice view of the sweepers, no battery! D'OH!
