Default In God We trust

As many on here know i ride All the time and only take a car to a car shows or the
truck to home depot so motorcycle transport is about 90% of my (to and from). I
took this picture today because i had not taken a Picture of the AZ Bike with the
fancy 15 dollar Wall- Mart top case and i had a bad feeling i needed to document?

about 30 miles south of town i blew a tire at 80mph. My wife and i were on the bike
and i am fortunate to be here tonight. I had a wobble and the first thing I thought is
that we are an earth quake! but to be safe and on ground not about to open in front
of us i got over to the side and as soon as i put my feet on the ground i knew that we
has a flat!

my friend Jack came out from Phoenix to bring us back to the house and we are safe
and happy to be here. i can say that in All the years of street riding (35+) that i have
never had a High speed tire failure and i hope i never have another. God was with us
today and we are Blessed!

Very fortunate that it was the "Rear" tire!! A front at that speed would have been --- well we wont go there. Glad you two are safe.

they can just barely speak it? ....In down town Phoenix We always find a great
Restaurant to eat at in the Barrio...... we call um the lock n load south Phoenix
restaurants and while the front tire was installed we had lunch and made a day of it!
Glad to be home and am going to a car show tomorrow with friends! have a great weekend!!
