My buddy Doug stopped by...
My friend Doug stopped by tonight after work. He wanted a second set of eyes on a nail he found in the rear tire of his VFR.
Luckily, when we pulled it out we found that it was to top of a rounded brad, and it was embedded only in the tread layer. It was at a weird angle, and it looked like a bad one, but it was short and mostly on its side, so it hadn't penetrated the belts.
Since we had all the roadside tire repair gear out, we practiced plugging a hole with string, on an old tire I had around.
Afterwards, we got in out of the heat and talked for a while. I'm going to take his advice and go to Yamaha of Rancho Cucamonga for my 52,000 mile valve check.
I had a great time!
