Was kinda off road here.. However the GPS did say it was a county road..

Can see the 10200 in the left corner if ya look close..

At the time we were trying to fix this..

Caused by this rock..

Just need some stainless steel wire to stitch it up first..

One of the guys with me came walking up with his plug kit when he heard over the radio I had a flat.. Then he saw the hole..

At the rate I'm going finding a new spare, I might have to resort to the stainless wire thing.. (seriously it works in a pinch). You can buy 4 new tires for cheap, but when you just need one they wanna hammer you for full retail.. $900 for 4 or $275 for one..!!!

Wow, that is a serious flat! I have been waiting to hear and see some "off road" tales as they relate to our products...Glad to see the 10200 and the ICE CHEST faired well. At least you could enjoy a few tunes and "road pops" while waiting on the calvary.

Thanks for participating in this thread

Sidewall patch and muscle. It's much cheaper.

Looks like a fun trail for a dirt bike. Can't believe the GPS called it a country road

County Road.. I think it was at one time but MANY years of that stream deciding to route itself along it has caused what was a dirt path through the woods to be turned into a nice rock bottom stream bed. I've got some TOPO maps that show it as a road as well.

I think it's one of those rare occasions where what man has built, nature has destroyed and it turned out to be a good thing.

It is however on TVA (Tenneessee Valley Authority) land and they police it pretty well and limit all travel to licensed vehicles.. No ATVs or Dirt Bikes (without tags) allowed.

It's a county road, alright. It "county" how many tires have fallen victim.

Any leeches in that water? And now on to your tire, would you mind telling me how in the world you can stitch the sidewall? Do you have to put a can of Green Slime in the tire to help it seal? I only ask as I have never seen anything like that before. How about an after shot of the repair before you go and buy a new tire? Come to think of it, your not a surgeon are you?
