Don, You are so right! A front tyre failure was a first for me---no warning, and the next thing you do is slide. I never thought one could get so messed up at 15MPH. I am glad that my arms and legs were still shaven from the TT last weekend. Made cleaning the rash easier. You know, a front tyre malfunction could be a bad scene on a motorcycle--all the more reason to suit up. I did 20 miles this morning. It is starting to get damn cold. I heartily endorse GIRO helmets. So far I have smashed two of them with no damage to the noggin.
