[QUOTE="woodsy, post: 1208697, member: 27856"] I once stared at tire that was flat for two hours to see if it was indeed only flat on its bottom edge.. I did this while traveling on my TTR225 (Blipy) at approximatly 45 MPH.. I discovered a new phenomemon while doing so,,, did you guys know that flat tires REALLY are only flat on the bottom? Annnnddddd, that as you roll down the road the flat spot stays on the bottom?? Isnt that wierd? Its like the tire anywhere else besides the bottom isnt flat but as soon as it gets to the bottom its flat, kinda like having a whole bunch of flat tires all at once... The tire is refilling itself as it leaves the flat spot and unfilling itself as it gets to the bottom.. Sort of like a breathing tire.. Sort of like tires are ALIVE!! I also came upon some guys one time that had wire and rope and tape on one of their bikes front tires (ok, this was a couple a jokers up North so their mail boxes were probably left open to long but this really did happen..) to try and keep the flat spot off the bottom but it didnt work.. It looked to me like they had a fair amount of time tied up in this procedure too.. That was probably one of the only times I ever actually saw someone take a shot a chasing the flat spot.. Also pretty weird eay?? YT and Bob,, glad you two had a GREAT time up chonder!!! Woodsy [/QUOTE]
