Almost made it

[Duccrazydave]

Decide to show the Duc some love this Saturday. Headed up 52N to my favorite loop. Everything perfect - moderate temps, moderate traffic and beautiful skies. Just getting ready to hit the serious curvy bits and started to feel some extra movement in my trusty steed. Considering the nature of the roads (tight, narrow with little or no shoulder) I made a U-turn at the first available intersection. My goal, make it back to a safe spot to pull over and inspect the situation.
I did make it to an area, but not before what had lodged itself in my, now evident, low rear tire escaped its rubbery prison, along with the remaining air. Crap.
Unfortunately I didn’t have a flat repair kit with me. It was resting comfortably in my RS pannier. I could almost hear the Beemer in the background “That’ll teach you to run around with that Italian mistress”
Fortunately I had cell phone service. Called my wife and requested the tire repair “kit” from the house. Took her about 50 minutes to show up, which gave me time to actually soak up and appreciate my surroundings. That’s Hanging Rock state park in the background.
All’s well that ends well. 20 minutes after my wife showed up, plugged the tire, aired up and I was on the road again...towards home.
