Default This is F*#k'ed up?????

Ok, Here is the deal, A buddy and I went for a ride around Seneca Lake last night, He was solo, and I was two up, With the GF. The ride is about 135 miles, We would stop about every 50 miles or so, Let the GF regain feeling in her butt. ON the last stop we pull into this gas station, and I get off the bike and stand there and watch my rear tire go flat. It took all of about 2 minutes, and the air was gone. I roll her over to the air station and fill her up and checked for a leak, nothing no leak. we hang out for about fifteen minutes and she stays inflated,, so we take off, we get into Watkins Glen about 30 miles down the road and pull into a gas station to check the tire, still inflated, just as much air in it as there was when we left. so We head home,(Elmira) About another 20 miles, Get home and the tire is fine.. Get up this morning and no Sh*t, the tire is still as hard as it was before... I have know idea what just happend or how this could have happend, can anyone tell me what this strange tire thing could have been and has this ever happend to anyone else? My mind is blown, This is the most messed up thing I have had happen to me while riding.. Some one please have an answer for me.... Thanks.
Daryl

Maybe that Mind-Freak dude was there and it was all just an illusion. [sm=confused06.gif]

The only thing I can think of is that somehow the valve got stuck open. Maybe a little debris managed to get under the cap? It sure is weird... Either that, or you could have a screw still in the tire, and when you reinflated it, the rubber sealed around it. Check your tire thoroughly.

Cheers!

Just remember... you cannot just go buy them yourself... someone has to give them to you as a gift.

Does it have to be another biker? Or can his GF give them?
