Waiting for the tow truck, bike got a flat
 

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

theking has returned?

The Road King never left! And that name fits, you feel like you are the king of the road on it

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

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

Thanx for the link though

Who's fake nick it this?

The man captured in this photo was seen cruising by. Coincidence? I think not.

you have a truck dood :disgust :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

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

FB FTW! :winkwink: Tow come yet?

im just kidding :) i tried scratched up my paint :( cost more in the end

That darn Obama !

Fixing paint can be costly

fix-a-flat!

;-)

yeah man just put that shit on your back and walk it back.. haha

that would even be impossible to push home with a flat..

it wont happen again :2 cents::2 cents: been a triple A club member for 8 years :thumbsup it happens i have it towed to the nearest shop

At least it didn't happen on the highway, that's always exciting.


.

AAA is your friend :2 cents:

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.

That's the safe bet, to truck came and it didn't cost a thing, didn't even have to sign anything

Amen Brother

Yeah, but now a day's more and more other insurance companies are including tow on their insurance

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

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

look around for a carpenter :2 cents: fell off his truck maybe

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:2 cents:

Yep, most auto flats are right rear :thumbsup

Like most things, this post flew right over his head.

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

hope you got it fixed.

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

Surely they must have something similiar for motorcycles?

If you has this in your garage 50 yds away ...

Yes you do!!


Love mine!



That what I have. mine is tire to tire for 7 years.


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.




Got the AAA premium option. Thats a life saver when its actually needed. I use it more for my cars than my bike.



800 pound bike with a flat?? That would way suck!!


Just Dave

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.

Is anyone going to the laughlin river run? ZZTop is playing on the 24th and I have floor seats, really looking forward to this

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.
