Funny how that nice center grove seems to disappear overnight.

Naz_Man A year or so ago you responded to one of my questions with "sounds like its his first bike"..
Well my responce to this question could very well be "sounds like this could be his last bike"...
Just funnin with ya.
.... Glad you went ahead and got the tire.. I let one get like thatand almost lost it turning into a lightly sanded side street..
No tread, No traction....
Ride Safe...............

RE: How much time do I have?
Naz_man, I'm glad you changed the tire! I've had a rear tire blow-out at speed and let me tell ya, it was no fun! I think I might have been able to keep it up if I hadn't had a passenger. She put her foot down hard and dislocated her knee and we went over. When we hit the ground I turned over and pulled her up on my chest and we slid on my back for a ways. I only got a little road rash but the thing was, while we were sliding my pants came down around my knees. So there I am, lying in the middle of the road with her on top of me and I can't move her because she is in pain from a dislocated knee. My pants are down around my knees and a crowd is gathering! Finally some thoughtful person came out with a blanket and covered us until the ambulance came. Embarassing motorcycling moment #1 of many.
