tire went down

Post by manveru »

So i was on my way to work last night, when the fizzer started to get unstable, then it started fishtailing wildly. i stipped, and low and behold my rear tire was flat. banghead I called in back up and we added air to the tire, and for some reason the valve stem is leaking. Its always someting with me lol. So are motorcycle valvestems and car valve stems the same
