Lucky man, but some one should tell him his broadhead bladed point should be at the end of his ARROW not sticking out the side!

no clear in picture but did the muffler mount fail, there was an issue with the muffler mounting bracket on the frame having only two welds causing one to crack and then the other if not detected early enough, mine had the first weld starting to crack luckily I found out about it from the "Tiger Explore.com" forum mine is 2014 and it has been solved on the later models. The fix is two simply put a third weld between the other two which I have done as well as grinding out and re welding the crack, I did it with a oxy Acetylene torch (didn't want to much around disconnecting the ecu and other Electronic that these bikes carry so didn't bother with the TIG) using a fine tip and a Steel welding rod I normally use with the TIG

That's the kind of tire destruction one would only expect on a darkside tire. I had to look twice to make certain my eyes weren't deceiving me.

At least it looks as if he kept the shiny side up. Glad to hear that only the tire was damaged.
