hard to believe my luck (what are the odds)? | ||

Pretty high... I got glass chunks in mine from an MSF course conducted at a high school parking lot! Getting it replaced is shockingly expensive... made me realize that bikes can be more expensive to maintain than cars. | ||

safety pin  | ||

Blackdog, just be thankful the shatty diaper wasn't still connected to that pin!  I picked up a welding rod stub not long ago. Never seen that before either. Either way it sucks the same. JJ | ||

Dude, I'd definitely plug that one. Obviously a VERY small hole, and the sharp point on that pin is unlikely to have significantly damaged the structure. | ||

I once pulled a retracting car antenna out of a tire. At first i thought it was a long ass nail, till the thing got about 3ft long and still going. | ||

That's a topper! How the heck did that happen? JJ | ||

extended warranty with tire and wheel coverage will take care of that | ||
| Thurstonbuell |
Yeah it will , the coverage certainly helped me after bending both rims and ruining both tires , after hitting a pothole in a full lean cornering , they even replaced any questionable and related part's . | ||

When I worked at garage I saw all kinds of strange things making their way into tires. Among the most notable were a house key which went in from the bigger end first, and a chunk of asphalt that got pushed through the tire. Yes, a piece of the ROAD made the tire flat. |
