Looks like your tire has a 1000 or more too many miles on it bud.
I always just put the bike on stands and went to the local shop and got them changed while I waited.
$300. bucks later I was riding again.
Be careful on new rubber!!!!

I was KIDDING about plugging it.....lol. I know better. I used to LOVE the BT's as well, they are ok nowadays. After trying these dunlop 209gp's, I think I am a convert. The Pirelli's are awesome as well. These dunlops are awesome for running 7 level in palm springs.....the 74 up towards Idyllwild. The 243 to Idyllwild is only 12min from my driveway.....Interested???

I'll check my tire sources....what size do you need....etc.....I think he's a Maxxis rep but I bet he can get them all.
Let me know and slow down....you're gonna get hurt on that thing:D
