Ay! Getting bike ready for trip from Portland, OR to Spokane for early next week...and I found a nail head in rear tire. It's a 2017ex, so tire with tube (5700 miles). I'm thinking if the nail penetrated the tube that a leak would have developed, but it's inflated at 42psi and doesn't go down. I guess I should pull it out to see what happens because I'm not riding it to Spokane like it is, and if it deflates well then I guess I get to ramp it onto pickup to take somewhere, or take the tire off. That probably means that there's not enough time to get it ready for the trip. Arg. Maybe I'll go on the KLR650.
