well dunno if I mentioned this before but....about a month (maybe 2) ago I bought new tires in search of something that I could get more mileage out of (testing the tires) . I bought shenco 009"s well a few days after installing them I was feeling the oats and passed this redneck and buddy in a beat up ol car on my way to the store to get a coke..As I was at the counter they pull in and he walks up to me a smiles and grins and is like overly ,weirdly acting all friendly and wanting to shake my hand? well I pass it off as simply a drunk redneck (yeah he reeked of budwieser wich he happened to be purchasing another case of). anyways I go out and get on my bike and bacpeddal away from sidewalk and go home (about 1/2 mile away). I get home and find a nail in my new tire after looking at the angle in which it penetrated the tread I come to realize that it was no accident but was propped against my rear tire so when I backed up it would puncture the tire. GRRR then I realize why this fool was so overly friendly.
Well I had to go get a plug in it (can't / won't buy a new one after the price I paid for the dang tire and has no wear on it). ok all is good I ride it and does great.. now I notice same thing again (forgot to be cautious and check things out before I back up) same store and remember seing the same set of rednecks there too...friggin thing is I can't prove it GRRRR.
gonna go get another plug...then order a new tire.
moral of the story is check your tires before moving your bike when parked out of your sight!!!!
Oh yeah I will be looking to see or catch these asshats next time....I carry box knife with me always and am not afraid to teach them how expensive tires can be.
