Nice save BigDoug...... something like that happens so fast it's sometimes hard to keep your cool and think of what to do...... my hat is off to you..... way to stay calm and collected.
I just can't understand why we pay so much for a MC tire and have it come apart like that. You would think Avon or any manufacturer would have built in extra safety precautions for their product because it's mostly used on two vehicles.
Has this happened in the past on a RIII or should I say has anyone had a Metz blow like that? :shock: :shock:
Good job Doug, glad you are safe. I am not to terrified of rear flats, but that story of a piece of chain on the FRONT :shock: Tire :shock: :shock: ? Not sure I will be able to sleep tonight!
Thanks for the extra pic Doug - looks even more like you picked up something....If it had been a problem with the tyre, i would have thought it would give way between the bands not across them.....either way, thats scary lookin.... :shock:
