33 years later after being taken up, a few reminders of the railroad still out there to be found.

Ouch.....

[2015 Z Force 800 53/Trail EPS]

You are kidding me!

That appears to be an optional accessory, as I can find no mention of it in the CF Moto promotional literature, nor any other CF Moto owner that features one of those exotic traction enhancement devices. It would probably aide you in deep snow, but appears to be rather useless on any other type of trail 

How you managed to kick that thing so it was pointy end up and at a 90° angle to your tire for a full on penetration is an amazing feat !! Bahhh, pull it out, stuff 6 plugs in and you are GOOD TO GO !!

Put a patch on the inside than tube it. You will be good for awhile. I  would be so impressed that I would take that spike to a blacksmith and get a knife made. It was given to you, sorta. Great stories start this way.

Holy $h!t, I ride by RR tracks a lot, going to keep my eyes peeled now.

New tire going on this morning, will keep the old one as a spare, maybe. I like the idea of turning the spike into a knife. The spike will end up at our camp where the story about it will only get better an bigger as time goes on . I am two for two now, same thing happen to a tire on my Grizzly 660 when I had it.

Your lucky it didnt drive though the wheel also!
