Who?
On my way home from work today I stopped and filled up with fuel and was about 10 blocks from home and started into a familiar corner and my handlebars took jerk to the side that felt weird. I had heard of poorer performance with a totally full tank but wow it seemed excessive. No, couldn't be, did the back tire come lose from me tightening my own chain?, didn't smell any rubber.Was my headset broken from wheelies? Looked at my front tire as I slowed down out of the curve, looked great, not flat. By this time I know something is obviously wrong but what? Now I am thinking, better pull over in as safe a place as quick possible right now! So I pull over and sure enough my rear tire is losing air fast. What I don't get is why it felt so weird up front? Was it the full tank of fuel? Flat tires on the back of my dirt bike (RM250) never feel like that, and I know because I have done up a couple of them. It was a new experience for me for sure I am just glad it didn't lose more air before that turn...
