At least you still have a bike....
Well to start off, there is something wrong with the ignition switch wire. No idea how this has happened but it has. I will turn the key on so the bike is ready for me to hit the start button. If I reach around, I can move the wire that comes down from the switch and it will shut off and restart the bike again. I don't have the tools to fix it myself, so it looks like I will have to take it to the dealership. On top of that. I just got my new front tire put on a week ago. Today I just ran over some screw somewhere on the street and now I have to replace my front tire again...... I am so depressed right now....:(

Daaaaamnnnnn parts guy!!!! :o
Leg still hurts from that ****. I didnt have a single mark on my back from that. Just about broke my left leg off though.
you don't have to replace the tire because it was punctured.Originally Posted by Phrogg
go to a tire-shop and have it repaired and vulcanized. ;)
didn't know that this fabric would protect you that much...Originally Posted by BPG
still prefer leather, though...
Depends on where the puncture is...If it were a car I would agree...repair. But a bike...just buy a new one, not worth it to save $100 or so.you don't have to replace the tire because it was punctured.

I slid on my back for a good 150 feet at 55mph and the jacket came out like that. I have a leather one also for cooler weather, but you cant argue with the results...
You are a very lucky man!
puncture on a bike never a side puncture or it would be an act of vandalisme.Originally Posted by mrdozer2you
anyway, vulcanizing the tire is not a plug...
the puncture us filled and heated and is as good as new. costs here is 25$, i don't think you have a new tire for that price
like i said...i'm amazed.Originally Posted by BPG
