Weird Noise

So when I'm up to speed, say 40 mph or so, and then I let off the throttle to start slowing, I hear this noise that sounds like a playing card is stuck in a bicycle tire, bouncing across the spokes. Any ideas what it might be? I had it in for service yesterday, and they tightened a bunch of stuff, but the noise is still there...

Well, Jody, I don't have the foggiest idea what is making that noise, however, if you put it up on the center-stand and rotate first one wheel then the other, you might be able to isolate the noise. I kind of suspect something as simple as a fender rubbing a tire or something of that nature.

It's just the disk brakes at work. Totally normal.

OK, I'll try to ignore it...Thanks for your replies.

It CAN be done. I, for one, am quite noisy and there are a LOT of people who ignore me...

I've been "ignoring" this sound, telling myself it's just the sound of being better able to hear what's going on in a vehicle, while still obsessively trying to figure out what it is and listen to make sure it wasn't getting worse. Glad I'm not alone and that there are nice people out there to reassure us.
