I was going to take the Cyclone out yesterday, but found the rear tire flat as a pancake. I only had about 3k on this scorpian sync following the metal that took it out last year...I wish people would secure their shtuff better....

Lucky you have two bikes! I would like to get another one, some day. Nothing ruins your day like getting ready to ride and finding out that the bike isn't willing!

If it makes you feel better, after I bought my M2 new, I had 50 miles on the odometer and got a nail in the tire. What a waste of a tire...

I got a Chunk-O-Metal in my new D208 the same day I got it put on. Deep in the Tread. I plugged it and proceeded with caution. 2K miles later it still rolls at 75 MPH just fine!

That sucks! Seems like it happens more often when a tire is new for some reason.

There's a HD dealership in Idaho Falls, Grand Teton HD, I believe. They had a Sync in their bargain room when I was there on Monday. It was 50% off. I almost bought it, if the receipt for the t-shirts hadn't blown away I'd have their number for you in the morning. Anyway you can find them on a dealer search pretty easily.

I imagine they'd ship it if it was sold, they only wanted $105-110 or so for it. Maybe they could even send it to a local dealer for an install?

Plug it and ride it. Unless it's in the sidewall, you should be good to go.
