    That sucks and just when you think all is good and the trike is lined out something happens. Got a couple hundred hours on mine, but when feelin' a trike out seein' iffin' it's worthy, I always have my son w/me. He either tows me back or I barrow his trike and get the p.u. lol, and pretty imbarrassing when his 3-wheeler is more dependable and it was the cheapest one in the fleet! LOL! And does it say for sale now?! LOL! It still loves you.

    hahahah, ditto!

    What kind of a blow was it? Large puncture? Would having SLIME in your tire have prevented the blowout?

    What might have happened if you left it there, to come back with a spare or tools?

    i have ridden home on a flat. super soft tire so it was pretty much on the rim. luckily it was mostly straits and 110s are light enough to lean back and have the tire be relieved pretty well.

    I also would have just rode out, or at least run the bike at idle in first gear and walked besides it.

    X2, but I still believe I would of just drove it out and replaced the rim if necessary. Hard to turn then tho. Wish I could ride wheelies. If it were one of my Honda 70's, I could ride it out on the back tires.

    If you have bought or sold with me please leave feedback.

    Pushed it? Really?

    Man, screw that! That tire has ONE job in it's life and it couldn't even do it right! I would've murdered the thing back out of the woods, rim and all!

    Elvis would've rode that crap out.

    Yea it sucked HARD

    All my tires are slimed but I hit a dry rut to hard and popped the front tire OFF the rim!

    It took about 2 hours of wrestling with it to finally get it far enough to where I could pull my truck in and load it up
