    Thanks for sharing "your interpretation" of that "News Flash"! I guess with all the "False News" being the latest trend today you want to carry on the "in thing". The "Flash" reports "vehicle/tires"

    Interpretation

    Seems as though you have interpreted the word "vehicle" to mean "car/auto! I would strongly suggest that you search and understand the meaning of "vehicle"! It includes bicycle, cart, auto, truck, van and about any other thing that transports people or things. Wow! That's rather profound! Appears we could include skateboards, SegWays,, wheel chairs, hay wagons, farm tractors etc.

    What am I missing?

    2012 Honda with two riders has rear tire blow-out on highway, results in crash.

    Was Van Hawkins - the driver who didn't make it -- a known Darksider? Is the 2012 bike Ref wrong?

    Just curious as I don't have a strong opinion on Darksider pros and cons.

    I could not find the letters F6B anywhere in the report.

    Riding a Goldwing is like opening a can of testosterone.

    Someone posted a picture of the rider elsewhere on the internet. He was riding a full Wing. Now, I don't know if he changed bikes, just saying the F6B thing is new to me.

    Found his FB page. 2012 GL1800 that he bought second hand in 2014, farkeled-out and used for distance riding etc.

    No indication that he ever had anything but MC tires in photos or comments on GL forums.

    RIP Van...

    Probably a really good guy.
