I just put my 18" rear wheel on my vmax with a metzler 180/55-18 marathon radial tire. With only 100 miles on the tire i picked up what looks like a staple. I pierced the tire and leaks. My local dealer told me they won't repair tires and all the manufacturers say never to repair a tire for...

Afternoon all - I want to put together a charity ride for my stepson (really my long time girlfriend's son) who was shot and killed due to a senseless act outside of a restaurant back in May. He had served a tour in Iraq. I had taught him how to ride and got him his first and only bike - 1997...
