That could have been MUCH more ugly than it was...

Lucky SOB!  Maybe you should play the lottery too...

My tyre (tire for the yanks) looked like that after I didn't tighten the cam shaft adjuster bolts properly.
First major bike in my life was a Mach III widow maker.
My Second permanent bike 1978 Z1R (owned since Dec 1977)
My Third permanent bike is the 89 FJ12 - nice and fast
Forth bike 89 FJ12 my totally standard workhorse
81 GPZ1100 hybrid - what a bike, built to sell but I can't part with it

Yikes, a good friend of mine was riding his big honda with wife on back and had similar problem
After oil change. He said the bike went right, left and DOWN, that fast.
They were on freeway, just scratched up a bit thank goodness. I've always worried about oil
On tire stuff after that story. Glad your OK. That's scary!!

That's a little unnerving for you, but considering how I was tucked in right behind you on the PCH does make a guy think, doesn't it?
Thank God you survived a close call.
Take Care Derek.

Sure does Leon.  Could have taken us both out.  Glad it happened when it did.
