So today I was thinking that I would come home and brag about how I did a long (for me) ride tonight for an hour and a half in low 40s weather. I felt like a real man making the trip.
However, about 10 miles from home, I ran over something nasty that fell off a truck. Long story short I got a flat tire, as did 3 cars that were behind me. I nearly wrecked but held on and managed to pull it over without dumping it.
The wreckers in my small town couldn't tow a bike so we ended up putting in air and limping it the 10 miles home. I have never been so scared in my life. It was more stable at high speeds but was super dangerous.
Worst part of the story, the reason for the trip was that 2 weeks ago i was visiting a friend, partied too hard and lost the only key I had. I had to thumb a ride home then, and this trip I had to take the ignition off to get a locksmith to make a new key.
Total cost of the trip an hour and a half away $200+. F this long distance crud.
