Maybe I should put one on the garage door too, and put the motorcycle keys in the fridge. 2 days after inflation, still hasn't lost a pound...

Mix up some dish soap water and soak the tire/valve stem area with dripping wet sponge. Watch for bubbles anywhere. Even a very slow leak will form bubbles.

It's nothing to trifle with. A rear blowout can be life threatening. :unsure:

I agree. That's why I haven't been on the road since I found it flat, though it's holding air perfectly at the moment.

I wonder if that night it went flat in the garage is the same night I took Ambien for insomnia the first time. It was either that night or the night prior. Based on what I've read about it I might have walked down the stairs, into the garage, let all the air out of my tire, emailed all my ex-girlfriends and gone back to bed and never remembered any of it the next day. :)

I'm glad I threw out that old bag of brown sugar a few weeks ago...

Its worth waiting to ride until I get a new tire, since I'm down to the wear bars anyway. Unfortunately I can't afford a new tire. I have about $500 to live on until August
