Waiting for the tow truck, bike got a flat - GoFuckYourself.com

Vendzilla · 02-17-2015, 11:55 AM

Road King has a flat, air is coming out around the stem. It's a new tire and tube, less than 2 weeks. It cost $345 and they don't last very long. 8 to 10k miles. So I called my insurance and they are sending a tow truck. Luckily it happened about 50 yards from my house. They can't get one to me for almost 3 hours, well at least it's all covered with the insurance

Did you say "Thanks Obama!" when you got the flat?

MK Ultra · 02-17-2015, 12:03 PM

What year is the Road King? If it's under 12 years old and less than 75,000 miles you can get this:
Extended Service Plans | HDFS | Harley-Davidson USA

Has an optional Tire and Wheel coverage

I signed my DWG up last year, it's nice to know if I break down they'll come get me, fix my bike for a $50 deductible and if I'm on a trip reimburse me for a hotel and/or a rental.

My insurance with Foremost is full coverage and covers full tow up to $250. Zero deductible. I have two bikes now and ride a lot so I need this. My Road King is a 99, they couldn't give me the extended coverage when I bought the bike with only 17k miles on it. My new bike is an 09 and has only 2300 miles on it. It's still covered by warranty I believe, but need to check into tht

Ever try to load an 800 lb bike with a flat into a short bed pick up with a tool box in it? Also it's a 4x4 which means it rides higher.
That's why I got it on my insurance

50 yards from your house and you can't push a motorcycle that far?

I have this. If you lose back tyre, no problem. And it is cool.

Vendzilla · 02-17-2015, 03:24 PM

Ok, so I picked up 2 nails during my adventure on Saturday. It tore up the inner tube.
So I was charged $65 for labor, they gave me the inner tube for free. I feel good about it, then just rode my bike home.
Was towed on a flat bed

Vendzilla · 02-17-2015, 03:25 PM

I did learn one thing, pushing a 800 lb bike with a flat tire on it is not easy

look around for a carpenter

fell off his truck maybe

L-Pink · 02-17-2015, 03:53 PM

Usually what happens is the front tire stands the debris up from laying flat on the road for the rear tire to then run over and puncture.

also happens when you ride on the shoulder, as most nails, junk end up there

8/10 for your post. A bit predictable, but bonus points because it needed to be said.

GAMEFINEST · 02-17-2015, 05:43 PM

hope you got it fixed.

SilentKnight · 02-17-2015, 06:09 PM

I've heard they make a type of kevlar tire for mountain bikes.

Surely they must have something similiar for motorcycles?

Anything goes wrong with the engine, tires, etc, it get replaced.

Same situation with me. took 3 people to actual load mine. Sucked!!

I needed to get my race "Map" adjusted on a cold start and didn't want to leave my bike at the gunners over night. Thats why I brought it in a truck.

I've been looking at these because they have full size tires and fold up under one of my work benches. They're pretty cool.

CDSmith · 02-18-2015, 12:56 PM

LOL at those saying you should have pushed the bike. We're not talking about a 250 Honda minibike here people.

Too funny.

Lucky the weather out your way is not too bad eh Vend? Waiting for a tow up here right now is a whole different matter. -40C with the windchill today. Tow truck driver is likely to find you frozen solid by the time he gets to you.
