Was lucky last night.
Had a very scary moment last night.
Was heading home from listening to a few friends play music about 10 pm. Cruising alone on the interstate at about 70 mph and run over a retread. Bad thing is didn’t see it until I was just about on top of it.
Must give the bike and myself a little credit that we stayed upright.
Was shaken so much had to stop for about 15 minutes just to collect myself. The last 10 miles of the ride was on the back roads nice and slow.
Will say this, my seat now has pleats in it from the pucker factor.

You'd have to pay an upolsterer to put those pleats in the seat if you wanted them. Glad you're ok.
