Nice to meet yall too, wish we had moved around a little faster Sunday and rode down with yall, seems like we just missed a really bad storm yesterday in KY.
New Avon Venom, what stinks is the rear tire was new.
Yamaha of Louisville fixed me up this morning after Spider (Rex) texted me to give them a call. I had forgot how much dealers charge for service and tires but they had me back on the road in a couple of hours and were real nice about everything. I came close to trading my bike in on a 2012 Venture but thought better of it.
Thanks for all the calls, text, posts and e-mails!!!! Made a bad situation a whole lot better

Thanks for all the help on this! AKRefuge and Kevin (don't remember his forum name) replaced my pump while I was doing swr checks and carbtunes at MD. What a great group of folks we have.
Rex came by with his pump and plug kit I will post a pic of the culprit when I can get to a computer I can upload to. If it still has air in it in the morning I will just have to find someone with the tire in stock to put it on.
Tried to pump it up to see if it would hold air overnight and if it did would ride it to Yamaha of Louisville but my 9 dollar HF pump would not handle it. Have had a couple people call with suggestions and will go with those. I think I am just going to take a shower and worry about it in the morning.
Let's see rained all day Thursday, fuel pump and trailer lights went out Friday, laptop died Saturday and today on the way to my daughters from MD I have a flat on the rear in Jeffersonville IN at least I was able to make it to a motel staying at town place suites and using the lobby computer. Any one close to Louisville know a shop I can have it towed so I can get the tire replace? My cell is on my profile and I will check back here in an hour or so.
Trying to decide what I am going to do after MD, I may ride back down and just ride the mountains for a week or I may go to Il and see the grandkids, however with all the flooding they have it may not be an option.
