Blowout Bingo: If you guessed 'back tire' you are a winner! And I am lucky!

With Jack & Bob • 8/29/18 Picked up a new tire at Bike Connection in Palo Alto to replace the Bontrager 4 Season tire I’ve had on for all of a month now. The New Pirelli P Zero tire rolls fast! I guess I should get one for the front :-)

Not sure what I ran over, but it must’ve been kinda sharp!

Waiting to get done with dialysis so I can call AAA to tow my car to a tire shop...popped my front tire on an uneven road down the street from the clinic at 7 this morning. Thankfully I was able to limp my car into the parking lot so I could make it to my treatment on time! Trying to stay positive but dang, this unexpected expense throws a wrench in my vacation man! #Vacation #LifeChallenges #FlatTire #Tennessee #RoadHazard #AAA (at Newport, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVF9xP7g9SB/?utm_medium=tumblr

Careful if you’re driving past the lakes in Bridgeport. Tree down, laying on lines. Passable but you have to go clear off the road. Was around 3pm, may be clear now. #roadhazard #countryroads (at Bridgeport, West Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0O6fnTl75H/?igshid=tms2tdy4fcge

HA! How is this even possible? I was a bit surprised when my back tire took a 3’ detour to the left on what I thought was a 40’ strip of water in the road... turned out to be automatic transmission fluid... lo and behold... some joker lost his torque converter, it was laying on the side of the road... how is that even possible? • • • • • • #kz #kz650 #scrambler #steampunk #postapocalypse #leather #builtnotbought #custom #custommotorcycle #postapocalyptic #vintagemotorcycle #scramblerstrackers #bratcafe #roadhazard #transmission
