Well I decided after last Saturdays flat rear tire ending a fun day early out at Zars that since the KTM I purchased already had a mousse mounted in the front tire that I was done with flats
and ordered a mousse for the rear when I got home.
I saw all the posts on off road forums and saw the videos on you tube of what a challenge it was and make sure you have a friend to help and to have like 62 tire irons in place
but I boldly dove in figuring how bad could it really be???
Well, don't know if I just have a magical mousse mounting gene or if dumb luck or some other divine intervention decided to save impending disaster for when there was an
audience to witness and laugh and post photos, but the install went very smoothly used 3 tire irons and took no longer to mount than mounting any other tire other than putting
the lube in the tire before inserting the mousse.
Now off to riding never fearing a flat offroad again, although in a strange twist of Karma as I was telling myself how I was now impervious to flats I looked out the garage door to
see my Challenger sitting on a flat rear tire thanks to a roofing nail. Oh well out came the plug kit and all is well there again.
