    And home from 5 days riding in The Great Northwoods. Did 580 miles on the Honda Pioneer 520. She did great with one hiccup.

    Our first morning out not 40 miles in I had a flat tire. Picked up a cotter key! So I had to plug two holes with a very small piece of tire rubber between. But it held air and is still holding now that I am home. What are the odds I would pick up a cotter key?

    the above blob is actually two plugs

    The culprit and my tools. I always carry an air compressor up there. I have had very good luck using walmart silly string plugs over the years. Plugged dozens of tires they just plain work.
