My cousin is not a motorcyclist and assumed the big Honda was like mine, an F6B. I was actually more interested in learning which brand/type of tire failed but Cousin didn't have access to police yard after he left.

I am perfectly aware that our motorcycle tires fail also - but we never hear about the darksider failures. thus the post.

peace out. and even more importantly our condolences to this man and his family.
Had you attached this explanation to your original post and ending that post with "blast away", it appears your intent was to "rattle folks cages". Just some food for thought

I'm also sure that each and all of us members/riders feels compassion and sorrow for this gentleman and his family!
