	Here I am! Seems like I'm the only other dirtbike nut
on the net. I ride a Yamaha IT490 and enjoy every minute when
I get out to ride. I ride mostly in northeast PA where mining
has left a lot of areas that provide challenging terrain for
riding. But since it is ruined land, nobody cares if you rip
the hell out of it. Thus one is free to blast about without
any land owners giving a damn.

	I have a recurring problem - flat tires. I can usually
get home on a flat (the sidewalls are so stiff it's easy to ride
on a flat) if my can of instant spare tire doesn't do the job.
Just last Saturday while riding home on a flat I recalled an
article in an off-road magazine about a truck (from a SWAT team
or something) that had foam-filled tires for the purpose of
flat tire resistance under gunfire. This sounds like just the ticket
for me. Does anybody know of a scheme for doing this? 

	Thanx in advance! More on berm-busting later.
