Traveling south on Deerfoot Trail following a R1 when the warning light started to flash, then the dash switched to TPS and showed rear tire low 27psi . Was flat within 1 click. Luckily there was a gas station right there , of course they or I didn't have a plug kit . Walmart 2 blocks away did. So my therapist didn't have to spend the night outside alone, She's back home with her older brother in the garage
beautiful, and looking at the third picture, I can see that the plug kit had instructions in French. What else can you ask for?
:doh:instructions, it had instructions, I just looked at the pictures. . French wouldn't do me any good either I can bearly read eanglish.
I carry that exact kit from Wally World along with a Hausfeld Campbell inflator. Has saved me 3 times now.
Just curious, but would that be the Walmart in Deerfoot Meadows?Yes it was.
Mine is the Slime plug kit with the Slime pump. Have not used it on the bike yet but did plug a tire on my wife's car once. I cheated through and used the 'real' compressor- the 12 volt Slime pump would pump up a car tire but not likely all in one day. :-)

By my reckoning, the TPMS saved the day. How about modifying the subject line with something about the tire pressure monitors or something a bit more descriptive?
This is the second subject line Jim has disliked.

Little premature buttherethey're on now. Hope to get a few more clicks from these then the original stones.
Doug:
Glad you fixed your tire with no problems. One question, though. In one of your pics, sign says road AND campground are both closed. I can understand a campground closure, but why the road? Seems too early for snow pack. Maybe a landslide? Fire danger? Rabid elk? Marauding moose?
Just curious. Seems a shame to close the road in such a beautiful area. Must have been pretty important reason.
I do hope I can ride up that way sometime, before I hang it up.
