Had an experience coming home. Was most of the way home and was turning onto Hobbs off of 518. Suddenly, my back tire was flat and the back end was sliding out. If I went down, I would have been laid out in the middle of FM518. I counter steered full lock, let off the gas, and the bike stood back up! I hobbled home on the flat and was really glad I was on the 650 and not the Africa Twin when it happened; probably wouldn’t have turned out as well. Moral of the story is to check your tire pressure before leaving out. With the cold weather we’ve had lately, you’ll probably find it’s low.
