I've wanted a bike for years now but whenever I read or hear horror stories, (even ones that end ok) I change my mind. I guess it's one of those things like when you're a kid and you'd ride your skateboard/bicycle down a steep hill. You just can't think about the bad outcomes that can make you a quadriplegic. Just shift the gears and go. However, I tend to think that if I got one and had a close call like this, I'd walk it home and sell it.

You almost never hear about blowouts any more. Have there been advances in tire technology that have made them less common?
Tires are a household product that is somewhat amazing. When you think about the work that they do, they're incredibly important, and yet they're invisible for the most part. They're the offensive guard of household goods.

Glad you made it bud. Periodically, I catch a moment when I realize, "damn. I about died." scares the shit out of a man.

Good to hear that you're okay. Those kinds of situations are scary.
Oh and R8ers my bike is a 1440 and I'm sure I can get over 100mph easily.
