flat tire

[highestgrade]

first flat tire i've ever experienced on a bike...stopped for some fuel...took off on the highway...r1...gixxer 600 & me...THANK GOD my friend with the r1 was behind me..gave the 600 sum space..the bike just felt like it was going crazy...totally uncontrollable...had to slow down the entire highway to get to the shoulder...& then i realised i had a flat rear tire..it was so bad i thought it was the front!! got a plug in it after calling a million ppl for help & a battery connect pump to put back in some air...hope it holds

I would swap it out as fast as you can afford... On my truck I could live with a plug but not on my bike JMO though

My first flat was on my Kawasaki Eliminator. It was the back tire and I made it about two miles out of town headed home (30 miles). I had my girl on the back and sat on the side of the road for about 20 minutes. I didn't have a cell at the time????? Her cousin thankfully came along and gave me a can of fix-a-flat. Whitch for the record does nothing. My girl road with her cousin and I headed home. I rode around 30 miles on a flat tire. As long as you're moving the tire stays up. When I hit the bypass for my exit, as soon as I slowed down my tire went totally flat. I had no control. Luckily My cousin drove by, seen me, went and got his trailer and hauled me home. Funny thing was. Some one a sportsbike was rubbernecking on the exit and ended up locking his brakes and hitting the gardrail. Thankfully he picked up his bike and rode off.
The second time I had a flat on the back of my 89 Kawasaki 750. Pulled into a gas station to get gas and discovered it. Thankfully an old farmer had a plug kit. The tire was a week old so I ran it for another year. I would definetly not do it on the Busa. I've never had a flat on the front and don't want one.

Glad you were okay. Like to be prepared.

Front tires stand nails up and rear tires are attracted to them
