Picked up from the road or sabotaged ??

It's my guess that you in all reality have never owned any vehicle at all if you have never gotten a screw or nail in your tire.Where do you usually ride or drive? In the freakin air? On a roof? Inside a Wharehouse?On a lake?GEEZ.

Seriously! Just look a little harder,you will find a heck of a lot worse things.I once ran over a piece of car leaf spring while in a turn,it flipped up and cracked both inner and outer primary covers on my Electraglide.Now that day Sucked a big one.

I've had lots of rear flats from screws and nails (even finish nails)....and never a front flat. In fact, the only time I've seen front flats is when somebody rides a tire way beyond its wear limits....though I HAD an acquaintance that hit a good sized rock (he was on a group ride riding tight and didn't see the rock) which flatted his front tire, throwing him immediately out of control and into a rock wall at the road's edge, where he died from head injuries.

I've been working on the highways for years. It's incredible the amount of screws and nails that can be found in the breakdown lane just after bridge joints. They bounce out of the bed of contractors pick-up trucks at the tailgate hinge space. Eventually, after bouncing around the highway from traffic (with some of them once in awhile ending up in tires) they gravitate to the breakdown lane just beyond the bridge (or bump, or whatever). Don't pull over in a breakdown lane just beyond a bridge... trust me. You may end up broke down.
I'll be copy and pasting this one to my RC website - good stuff.

Me too. It does make sense, but I would have never thought about it. I guess the first couple hundred yards would be a mess.
