calling jim sherlock......

[Everett]

So I was going to go out for a quick ride in mid December when I realized my rear Gripster was as flat as a pancake. I put the bike up on a milk crate and yesterday I took it to my dealer to have it checked out. The tire only had 1 or 200 kms on it. While my friends Harley/Yamaha/Honda dealer farted around with the tire, I helped to unpack a custom Harley. When the mechanic took out the tube, I thought I saw a long gash. It turns out it was a piece of packing tape....about 4" long. Somehow, this caused a hole in my tube. The mechanic simply said "It doesn't belong in there." I am still rather surprised that this could cause a flat. I left with a new free tube and a lesson, make sure the inside of the tire, and the tube, are free of any debris before installing the tire. - Everett
