I had a low speed blowout on the front of a Triumph Bonneville once. It wasn't pretty, but I managed to keep it upright and get it stopped. Just before I'd have rammed the CPO club.

LD, I have been praying for your safety as you navigated your way down the highway.. I was eyewitness to a terrible crash in which a biker doing everything right was killed this past week. I'm thankful to the Lord that my prayers for you were answered.:engel016:

Glad you made it home safely!
When my parents were taking us kids on a trip once, we were following a motorcyclist who blew out his rear tire. He wiped out in front of us, but miraculously escaped injury, except for some nasty scrapes. I still remember watching the accident. Scary.
I had a 1982 Goldwing until a few years ago. I wasn't riding it much, so sold it. I figured it was just a matter of time before I had an accident on it.
Back in 1973, I had a Honda 150. I laid it down on a paved road on NATC Patuxent River, MD, in the rain. I STILL have cinders embedded in my right hand from that incident.
Glad you are home, and are ok.
