HELP NEEDED!!--Tire repaired for the moment, but there are bulges besides the now-plugged puncture in the rear PR2 of Corey's FJR.

He is 24 miles north of Belle Fouche, SD, on highway 85, and is in need of a tire change ASAP.

His plan as of 5:05 CST is to ride on the injured tire into Belle Fouche, and then Spearfish, if needed, to seek repairs this afternoon/evening.

If you can help, please call/text me at (phone number removed now), or respond here on the forum.

Thank you,

Shane

Update on Corey's tire situation...

He is headed to Belle Fourche, where a forum member will be waiting with a new tire and changing tools/ability.

Will update as more is known.

Thank you,

Shane

Kudos to John, nice way to help out a fellow rider. I'm headed up to Boomtown later today to check out the Strange riders, at least the temps have dropped into the lower 90's

From the ButtLite blog.

"Later in the day, rider #2, Corey Nuehring called from Belle Fourche, SD. He had picked up a bolt in the rear tire of his 2014 FJR 1300A. He still had some air in it but wouldn't for long. We got busy on social media and within a minute of posting Corey's dilemma on Facebook, we heard from John Langdell in Spearfish. He had a trailer, a tire changer AND a tire/wheel for this motorcycle. How about that. Corey & his brother/riding partner Brian met John who took them back to his house. They got the tire replaced and got fed before heading back out on the rally. This is exactly what we love about the LD riding community. This type of thing happens all the time. Strangers helping Strangers who quickly become friends. Thank you John!!!"

Hey John!

Big shout out to John for rescuing this rider! Hope someday to get out West and meet the man.

Is there some place that gives the break down of the numbers of makes/models of what is being ridden?
OK here is a stab at it:

BMW Dual Sport: 15

BMW ST 17

FJRs 12

Gold Wings 11 (Trike included)

HD 6

Honda ST 2

Kaw. Con. 4

Ducati 1

Victory 2

Suzuki 1

Yamaha Ten. 1

This is just a guess, I know of riders left out and some were pictured more than once, but this will give you an idea of the bikes.

 
Watched a ST1300 parking lot shock replacement, don't know names but the boys were all business installing a Penske. More bike's rolling in now that it's dark. Dam , this is spectator fun.
