Beegreenstrings Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Well went all over last night after work, searching for a truck one of our techs came in and told us about. Supposively there was a 1996 F150 E.B Edition in Dresden for sale. That immaculate find you hear about all the time. power everything 2wd short bed leather 5sp and a straight 6 and only 79K on it. I was out the door on the way to the bank. Grabbed the cash and took off work early.Someone one handed the little old (widowed) lady the money when I pulled in. Crap, go figure the truck is perfect condition...So I head for home. When I came back through zanesville, down by Thomas lumber town, I thought I hit some soft tar on the road... Didn't even think about it.4 miles later, the rear tire blew out as I headed into a corner. Luckily, No one was coming the other direction and I was able to recover the bike and stay upright.Does not seem to be rim damage. But tire and tube are both shot... yeah. I knew I needed tires anyway, but was trying to get the most out of these. My fault for trying, probably. But, I did find a puncture hole in the tire so I think I had some assistance......welp, off to the pony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beegreenstrings Posted June 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) Xr650l, it's my daily commuter. I dont like racking up miles on the hawk or VTX...I love riding that XR though. Seems to help relieve the stress when leaving work to. Has a CRF450 exhaust on it... Perfect hooligan bike. Loud, Obnoxious. Fun as hell. Needs a supermoto kit on it Edited June 11, 2011 by Beegreenstrings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
