Default Flat Tire!

Was on the way to get my bike serviced yesterday morning and my rear tire went out at about 40 mph as I merging onto a busy expressway. Luckily traffic wasn't too bad and I was able to get it over into the emergency lane without laying it down or getting run over.

You can only imagine how I felt when I got it stopped and took a look at the back tire. It really hit me how much of disaster that could have been.

Thankfully, I was only a few miles from where I get my bike serviced at. I called them, they brought a trailer and picked me up. They sold me a Dunlop tire for $50 installed. I really don't know how much they usually go for, but it sounded like a generous offer to me, especially since I was in a situation where they could have bent me over.

My dealership really came through for me in a time on need. They've got my business for a long time to come.
