Cripes! Picked up a nail in my tire on the Vbike

Looks like I'll need a patch job. Dadgummit!

Vbike has been running well. Still don't have the choke set quite right so starting takes a little time. But everything seems to be running smooth.

I'm going to put another hour or two of easy riding then change the oil for the 2nd time. So far so good.

Still don't have a 2nd gear indicator.

Did you slime your tires?

Plugs work great and are easy to insert, also use some slime!

I haven't had much success with patches. Plugs and slime have worked very well though.

Plus, you don't need to take the wheel off.

Got my tire slimed and all seems to be well now. Picked up some more to do the other three. I have learned my lesson ha ha.

Got to ride her some more today.
