On my way to Sturgis, blow out at 140 kph (about 87 mph). Didn't lay it down. Wasn't my time I guess. When I left on the trip tires seemed good. Be careful out there.

Back tire.... high chance for not dieing
Front tire + rapid pressure loss = divine intervention for maintaining life

Unlucky, glad you stayed vertical. It's a very awkward feeling I too got to experience at around 60mph.

Good luck on your adventure and getting new rubber fitted!,

Ain't it a beech how much that drops the bike! Almost need to dig a hole for the kick stand to poke into, to get enough lean to keep it from falling over. "Yup" been there, done that!
