I could have been riding it. (not my photo)
In the 20+ years I have been riding motorcycles, I have never had a flat.
Until this morning.
I had the hardest time backing it out of the garage. I thought there was something behind the tire, or a brake was frozen or something.. Nope.
I dropped everything and drove to work, and now I'm the most distracted person here. Is it a puncture? Is it the tube? Do I need to order a tire? Tube? Another rim strip? Is it the valve? If I put air in it, will it stay in long enough for me to take it somewhere? Should I take the wheel off and take it somewhere myself?
I feel like this guy, and the woman is the people at work today.
And I have a bike trip on the 10th

Mine was a leaky valve stem. Cheap and easy fix!

These are the worst distractions at work... You almost want to drive home and root cause the issue, order the parts and then return to work.. You might be more productive in the end... ;-)
Runner up distraction: Getting UPS/FedEx notification of a package delivery at home while you are at work....

Lmfao at that pic and the story. HATE having to come to work when something is wrong, when I got 2 bubbles in my tires all I could think about was where and when I could get new tires and how soon could I be back on the road. Work definitely suffered for that week.

My god, I hope so. I'm at least 6-7 hours from getting my hands on it.

I also called out this morning.
People stay at home for their sick kids right?
