Woke up sunday morning. Did my pre-ride check (that i rarely ever do) And noticed my rear tire a little low. So i checked it with my new tire gauge
only 12 lbs. I grab a bottle of soapy water and begin looking for the hole. Spot a 1/2" slice, right in the middle of the tread. It's barely leaking any air, but it's enough for me to not ride on it.
What an expensive next couple of weeks this is going to be. Paid my truck ins ($480.00), bike ins is due at the end of july ($1000-$1300), and now a new set of tires . The plus side to this is that i finally get to give those crappy macadams the smokey funeral they deserve, and step up to something better. Still don't know what i'm gonna go with. Probably wont even think about it for a week or two.
Oh ya, i forgot to mention that i have to check my valves too, and while i'm at it i'll probably do the ignition advancer. I was also looking at getting a new chain and sprockets too, but those might have to wait. Unless i start getting some O.T. at work. Which is not likely
