but as it turned out, this was pretty much the end of riding for me today....
wife's quad...
run into an old buddy of mine (worked with him in the early '90's!) camped by Williams peak, which came in handy for me...
left my atv with him and had wife double me back to the truck so i could bring it in closer to where my buddy was camped.....
because i got a flat. i hit a rock real hard and the tire went flat pretty much instantly, could'nt see anything at first, so i figured i knocked it off the bead. at first i took some starter fluid and tried to re-set the bead.
after messing around with it some, this gash reared it's ugly head....and right in the middle of the sidewall....
.....so much for this tire. jammed a couple plugs in it, lasted 'bout 20 mins under riding, split kept getting bigger.....held air long enough to get it on and off the trailer....my day is done-bummer...another 3-400 hundred for tires now....crewcab paint job keeps getting further away......
