    got 3 hours of sleep yesterday, worked 12 hours, went to the dentist and decided to ride when I got done there. My first clue came at the gas station, my rear tire was down a few pounds, instead of filling the tank and tire and continuing on I returned home, let the air out of both tires and filled em with nitrogen. Went back to the gas station and filled up, took the LONG way to my grand parents house (115 miles instead of 20), every thing was going great till about 25 miles from his house 10,000 miles from civilization. I found a piece of foder with the rear tire and didn't even realize it. 6 hours later I finally made it home on a flat tire. After being awake for 27 hours and the crap I went through today I will NEVER say a bad day riding is better than a good day at work again as long as I live.

    could have been far worse. At least you still have your health. At least as much health as you can have after being up for that long.

    Was there cold beer in the fridge? I have never had a flat. Watch. TOmorrow for sure. Should probably buy new air capsuls seeing as mine are from when I bought the bike in 06.
