first near death experience of the season... gonna be a good season

[2006busa]

so im going down a very sraight part of a very nicely paved road that i just so happen to know about. its about 15 miles of nothing but a straight road, i mean you can see the stoplight thats at the other end of the 15 mile long section at night, this is one of those roads where if you so desire you could do a top speed run on it, naturally im doing the speed limit on it . all of a sudden i feel like a vibration is developing in my front tire. maybe 2 seconds after i notice it my bike takes a mean dive for the centerline of the road and then without warning im going back the other way heading for the ditch ,it was so strong it took all the leaning i could to keep it on the road/shoulder. then once i get back down around the speed limit my handle bars begin to shake pretty violently. i finnaly got it off to the side of the road and by this time i knew what the culprit was. Im thanking my lucky stars that im in one piece after this one.

Holy squishy front tire, Batman! I'm glad you're still on two wheels.

A little reminder, always make sure you have enough tread on your tires and stay away from the cheap stuff

What brand was that front tire?

 

[Rainbow7]

I've seen wave rotors but that's the first time I've seen a wave tyre.

it was a battleax bt-16 with only 5k on the tire.

that must have been scary. Be sure to check your rim to make sure its not bent, glad your ok.
