A sad end to a nice ride...

[Stig / Major Tom]

Also the day* I discovered that my AAA roadside assistance didn't have the "RV" rider.
5 mile tow was over $200 - with new tire and dealer install, total cost of this ride was close to $500.....plus coffee.




2" metal slice in nearly new rear tire.

PS: *and the day my daughter gave me remote instructions on doing a GPS locate with my phone. (I had no idea what the name of the road was that I was on, for the tow driver)

PPS: the oil dry on the truck bed was from a motorcycle involved in a fatal wreck at a rural intersection that I pass through each day on my coffee village ride. Tow driver was a real fun guy.

Towing added to Liability policy---usually about $8-10 a year.

What ever added to being self contained, (plug kit/pump.....I recommend hand or foot pump,having run battery down on my SilverWing in ME and requiring jump to get going)?


At least plug to get home slowly ok,until you can demount tire from rim and repair from inside.

" 2 inch metal slice "......ham sandwich might have worked as a get-me-home plug. Have to be on whole grain....

This happened to my tire a bit back (though it wasn’t nearly new)
But this is why I have all the extra’s on my insurance!
Hope all is well now though!
