[QUOTE="Bugnatr, post: 796743, member: 1339"] Well I hope you guys had fun in Bodie and the like. Saturday morning Joe and I were riding through Aurora ghost mining town on the way into Bodie when he picked up a 100+ year old square nail in his rear tire. Son of a beach we are 40 miles in the desert at 8,000 feet, not good. Time for an on the trail tube patch repair (note-buy fresh tube repair kit, the glue will go bad even unopened :angry2: ) I have been packing a small air comp that I wired to plug into the battery tender plug and with several stops to air the leaking tube were able to nurse the bike back 20 miles to Lucky Boy pass road. At this point the Pirelli MT21 was toast but we had made it to a decent gravel road where I went to town and brought back the trailer to fetch my son and bike. That put a kabosh on our weekend of riding in perfect weather but we made it out of the back country so it was a good day. Joe and I really enjoyed our visit with the Fodsters on our way over Friday. We did go to the local High school football game Friday night in Hawthorne. Hell of a game, the Virginia City Muckers beat the Hawthorne Serpents 56 to 50 in overtime! Looking forward to ride reports and pictures, Bug. [/QUOTE]
