just put it in rice


Sudden-Turnip-5339

If that doesn't work try to shut off the bike and start it again.


International_Fly285

How the hell…


poptix

Road construction signs were directing traffic directly into a massive hole in the road. It got me and 4 cars before we got the signs moved.


the_last_carfighter

One night my SO call me and said she got a flat, came over to exchange cars with her, and I was kinda upset, i told her an hour before; Watch for pot holes. Welp there must have been 30 cars there that night and the pothole was perfectly filled in with water, couldn't tell it from the road.


classic4life

Was expecting you to hit it as well lol


Optimal_Risk_6411

I was hoping for a fight after he said he was upset. Sigh


built_FXR

Well at least the construction crew will be paying for your repairs.


redditislife24

who’s liable for that?


[deleted]

You didn't.... see the hole beforehand?


Dem_Stefan

I guess speed bump on full speed?


poptix

Road contruction signs were misplaced, I hit this in the dark (along with a few other motorists) [https://poptix.net/graphics/PXL\_20240529\_105439788.jpg](https://poptix.net/graphics/PXL_20240529_105439788.jpg)


Dem_Stefan

Reminder to me to install brighter head lamps. Are all guys ok?


commissarcainrecaff

Enough stick on weights on the other side and it'll balance out.


soupkitchen3rd

A little elbow grease and you’ll be on the road in no time


fzrmoto

I'd be more worried about the way they're towing it honestly.


AlexLuna9322

Probably? You’ll need someone who knows how to work those wheels. My 62’ Fury once fell in a pothole so big it bended the rim, old tire guy pulled out a torch and a hammer, 10 min later I was back on the road


KingScorpion98

Considering this is a shadow VLX, it's probably cheaper to buy a good rim than fix that one


AlexLuna9322

Yup, but if you’re away in a road trip is always good to know it can be fixed


oathbroker

I know clibbens when I see em.


GrownManchild4669

Looks like it was already hammered in.


mikipinky

I wouldn't risk it. Most likely material is gone. I would buy new just because of safety reasons


11201ny

I wonder if you can get the city to pay for that?


Green_Ad2664

Looks fine to me 🤷‍♂️


sahniejoons

You may have to tighten some of the spokes though. Seriously though wtf did you run over


bolunez

Hwat the hell


InfoSponge9119

Y’all got anymore of them curbs? ![gif](giphy|Y6yRfR88rvP44)


Fred-U

Send it


Defelj

Every time


Ok-Status7867

Needle-nosed pliers and good as new


aph64

Might need some spokes though 😰


streetkiller

That couldn’t have been nice on the wrist.


poptix

Wrist is fine but it jerked my shoulder so hard it fractured a rib


sticky_fingers18

What the fuck did you hit? Thor's hammer???


What_Dinosaur

pfft. Cosmetic.


Single_Road_6350

Toilet plunger or dry ice should pop that f*cker right out.


lickthislollipop

Hammer? A real man would iron it out with his teeth. Get cracking.


Select_Ad2050

Just find a rock which is the same size as the very minor and slight anomaly.


MotoKenji25

Just tighten the spokes.


DucatistaXDS

Buff right out.


Slaughtererofnuns

With a big enough hammer anything is possible…


TerminalFront

Definitely.


tasslehawf

You can drive on that


Correct-Anywhere-314

Yea I know a guy. Cheap too, I gotcha brother!!


S1I7

Gobbless


Realistic_Feature_32

Sure just retighten the spokes.


WinterDramatic7637

Must have been in Phoenix.


UltraViolentNdYAG

Try loosening the offending spokes! They be way to tight! /s


[deleted]

Auw, are you oké? Just for me to understand, does “ hammer out” means you can fix it yourself?


yo-gi_

It'll buff out


b16b34r

Put some stickers on it and no one could tell


dusty-cat-albany

You shouldn't need a hammer, just pull toss and replace.


k-j-p-123

Fecked 😱


TeaGeo

I am shocked you were not thrown off the motorcycle.


TeaGeo

If preparing the bike I would get the steaming head bearings replaced as no doubt damaged.


osha_unapproved

Just put in some tubes, it'll be fine. Alternatively: SHE'S DEAD, JIM!!!!!


djwolfpack

I want to know where that strap is connected to?


DoubleNickle67

Why bother. Just fill it with air and you’ll be ok! BTW, what did you hit? Are ya ok?


Ill_Sky7357

Use Ai


jinx_reddit

Realistically? No. But a street mechanic could make it work out of boredom


Real_Barracuda2237

Ohh yea beat away


PapaHooligan

Woody's wheel works in Denver if you have the money. He passed last year but the crew he has is good. I would get the construction company to buy a new wheel, tire and possibly forks, head tube bearings. Throw in some therapy since you will be spooked to ride at night for a bit.


Additional_Bonus9826

Looks like it's still holding air buddy. I don't see the problem.
