Crappy end to an Awesome ride.

Man, today I took my girl out for a ride on the Dog...Beautiful day, awesome back roads, bike running great, blew away two Harleys...what could go wrong? Half a mile from the house something wasn't right...then I realized I couldn't steer anymore...had to push the dog down my street and into the garage...that was embarrassing. Picked up a screw in the back tire and it went flat, fortunately I only had to push it an 8th of a mile...it was still a great ride and the new tread is on order

Feel your pain -- came home the other night on about 16psi -- I could still steer but I was not a good ride!

Glad you made it home safe! These things are a beast with no air in that fat ass tire

Another bright side is, not having to call for a trailer! A bonus close to the house.

Very true brothers, I was very thankful not to have this happen out on the road somewhere, pushed her home and ordered new tires this afternoon

Hope that 1/8 mile was down hill.

Mostly yes but my driveway goes uphill at the end, when I got to that point I started her up and let the engine help.

I call that unluckily lucky. Glad you got home safe.

Well to add insult to injury, it looks like the culprit for me was the damned TPMS I just installed -- seems like the one on the rear wheel leaks oddly. I say oddly since one day it did it came home at 23psi, added air went for a run - came home39psi (left with 43).
Next time out, add air, pull out, sit at neighbors bs'ing for 10 minutes, get 2 miles down the road and I'm at 16 psi and have to turn around and nurse the thing home. Pulled the read one off for now and will continue to monitor.

That's sucks brother, I hate it when things don't work right, right outta the box! Hope you get it figured out
