Changed a motorcycle tire yesterday. I'm using the Tubliss system, which I really like, but it does make tire changes a bit more difficult.
Old tire was a bitch to get off. Tubliss warns you not to catch the bladder with the tire spoon while removing the old tire. I think I did. I got the new tire mounted and it wouldn't seal. I went through their trouble shooting process, and it would start leaking as soon as I tightened the rim lock. Fortunately, I had a new one waiting for my new bike, so I installed it and the tire. Unfortunately, it's a directional tire and I put it on backwards Pulled it off, being very careful this time with the tire spoons, turned it around and put it on again. This time no leaks
It only took 4 times longer than it should have.

I don't hate it. It's just that there are other things I'd rather be doing.

Lots of important info was given:
  • If someone from Holland married a Filipino; their kids would be Hollapino.
  • If someone from America married a Polynesian; their kids would be Amnesian.



YW
Your brain would NOT be a terrible thing to waste!

It's got a few advantages. No more pinch flats. I can run much lower pressures for better traction. I can use a tire plug for flats, making repairs on the trail much easier.

Is she tied into her seat with duct tape around her mouth? Nope, have never seen anything like that (but would like to have done it to someone on a few occasions). Would love to know the story behind that.

A woman who allegedly had a mental health episode aboard an American Airlines flight appears to have been taped down after having a public freakout in the air. TikTok user @lol.ariee posted the video. The flight was taking off from the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport and was in the air for about 2 hours. During that time a situation unfolded that caused a bit of a panic. According to the TikToker, flight attendants started frantically running up and down the aisles at around 1:30 AM. The captain got on the intercom, and told everyone to stay in their seats 'cause of the problem toward the front, which he apparently said they were handling. As the TikTok user exited the plane, she recorded paramedics who were standing by with a stretcher. As for American Airlines, a rep for the company tells us this: “The crew on board American Airlines flight 1774 reported a potential security concern after a customer attempted to open the forward boarding door and physically assaulted, bit and caused injury to a flight attendant." They add, "For the safety and security of other customers and our crew, the individual was restrained until the flight landed at CLT and could be met by law

Duct tape should be standard issue cabin emergency kit item along with handcuff ties these days.

This isn’t the first attempt of nut job trying to open door. I was told it won’t open when cabin is pressurized but ya know movies make it so easy to do.
