my bike is better than yours - nklr

I believe it, a front flat can be pretty wicked. Last year at Enduraid in Wisconsin, a guy riding a DR400 had a flat on the front. This guy was a former motocrosser and a very experienced rider. We were on a highway section and his front blew out as we were turning off the road onto the trail. He said it just pulled the bike down like he had no control. He came into camp with a few cuts and abrasions etc. and was luckily not hurt badly. reminds me, my the Pirelli I am running on the front is pretty bare, I think it is time to swap out some rubber. ride hard, ride safe, Todd A16 03 F7

That's ridiculous. Governments lay people off all the time. Budgets are cut thanks to myopic tax crusaders and people are let go. Ask the California park rangers!
