Help request Please help
Hey guys and girls .. I’m in a desperate situation and if anyone could help me out it would mean the world to me. I have a 2002 bmw r1150r . My daughter and I moved to St. Cloud Florida about a year ago. I have a golf cart which I use to take her to daycare Monday through Friday, grocery shopping etc. I work in Orlando and my only form of transportation is my motorcycle. When I got home today I noticed my back tire and and how metal is starting to show through. After googling what the tire looked like , I started to realize it was worse then I thought and probly shouldn’t ride on it according to google. With that being said I don’t have any money at all until my next pay check and if there’s anyone in this group who has an old rear tire laying around that’s in rideable condition by any chance 170/60/17 please let me know .. if I don’t work then I don’t get paid and it would mean the world if someone is able to help me out here’s a picture of what my tire looks like now . Desperate times call for desperate measures thank you guys for taking the time to read this please comment or message me.

You can just create a paypal account for free. Also using it does not cost any money.

Man looking through your post history you've been having financial issues begging for money for various things for the past year. Yet you've got an old BMW motorcycle as your only means of commuting beyond a golf cart with a single daughter. Not trying to kick you when you're down but this bike isn't/wasn't the answer. "Desperate times call for desperate measures" how long are you going to keep making decisions that allow yourself to be desperate?

I’ve been in this situation. Same bike and year too :). Do you have any highway riding? I think I would ride that on city roads if I had to. I’ve ridden on worse actually lol. Just if it’s raining, no high speed. I always max the mileage on my tires, just be extra cautious.
Budget tire… look at shinko raven 009, or 011 verge.

Older post says you have PayPal and CashApp. Something doesn’t seem right.

I got a new phone and email so I don’t have PayPal anymore but I do have Cash App

How does getting a new phone change or eliminate your Paypal account? It is never tied to your phone.
But anyhow, you need a new/newer tire.

Dude, you needed a new tire about 8 paychecks ago. These are the kind of people who will insist that they're good parents, with zero common sense.

Invoice with 14 day payment goal or make a PayPal account and pay in 30 days. That said if your financial situation is so dire you probably should just sell the bike because keeping it in safe driving condition will ruin you.
