Thank you to fencepost and barbed wire for stopping to help. Back on road now but I need a new tire

:( Mighta started out bad with a flat tire, but you also got to see the Great Side of your fellow Spyder Ryders:firstplace:

You didn't say rather front or back, but if it was front I would buy non directional tires to replace them. So you would be able to rotate them without any problem. Just a thought.

Thank you for this post. While I am sorry for your flat, but it reminded me to put in some ride-on before my long trip in August.

Sorry to hear that Mike. This was just not your week.:banghead:

Actually, one of our top dogs here (and I mean that with the utmost respect) mentioned just recently why they are uni-directional. If I remember what he said correctly, it's not a good idea to go with non-directional. I think it had something to do with the (uni-directional) tread pattern and reducing the possibility of hydroplaning.

Mike, if weren't for bad luck, you would have no luck at all! Hope your home safe.

What did you do to fix your flat, and how do you apply ride on, if thats the proper terminology. Would average dealers carry it ?

8 hours of ryding today, tank to empty most of the way also raining half the time. I now know that i need better rain gear, the bike holds the road nicely in the rain and gerbing clothing is great. As for the tire, I used a tire plug kit to fix the hole and I carry a small air pump by slime that saved my ass today. I should have gotten the the ear plugs from the big ears guy, I now understand the reason for them.

we missed you at spyderfest, I had to answer all the floorboard questions myself. Met Joe from VTC had a great time
