Saturday I experienced the most terrifying moment I have ever had in my life.

I bought a motorcycle about 4 months ago and took the Motorcycle Saftey Foundations class.
This past Saturday I was riding on the interstate and I had my front tire blow out. I don't know how I did it, but I managed to keep it upright (despite my bike wanting to do otherwise) and pull off on to the side of the road.

I come back and get it later and load it onto a trailor.

This is my rant:
Tire places DON'T SELL motorcycle tires. They won't touch them. Big 10, Fausaks, Trax Tires, none of them. They DO NOT DO motorcycle tires.

To get a replacement tire? I had to go to the suzuki dealership.

Yesterday, I paid 285.00 for ONE TIRE... One... It's rubber, it's not some space-age composite, it is a piece of rubber.

Edited to add:
Apparently, it is really important to check your tire pressure With a Pressure Gauge.
They believe what happened was I had a slow leak and it went to about 25 PSI (instead of the recommended 41).
Visually, you can't tell however, being that low caused the front tire to overheat and it blew the seal to the rim.

I went down to our crabby little office an hour ago to pick up some stuff and this Chinese guy was standing on the doorstep trying to sell porn DVDs.

Decadent · 08-28-2008, 02:24 PM

Sorry to hear that, Jessica

Glad you are okay!

My car begins freaking out and flashing threatening messages across the dash when one of my tires gets low...so I completely know what you mean with the tires appearing to be properly inflated when they have actually lost 50% of their intended pressure.

Anybody want to cal T-Mobile for me and tell them I am terminating my contract despite nothing but excellent customer service because they just changed my contract and I want an excuse to switch to AT&T for a 3G blackberry?

Walker Moore · 08-28-2008, 05:51 PM

Uh. Need indonesian translator (that can do more than several paragraphs).

Can't find.

Walker Moore · 08-28-2008, 05:54 PM

Oh never mind. I found one.

Hurray!

Goodbye, T-Mobile and slow old EDGE on Blackberry Pearl.

Hello, Sprint and wonderful fast CDMA on a Blackberry Curve.

You're gonna really fucking regret that move, Sobri.

I walk into the kitchen to use the microwave for the first time in forever because, as I've said, I hate microwaving food.

Open the door and there's exploded soup all over the walls.

"Adam, why does the microwave look like this?"

Adam walks over, looks at it for a second.

"Oh."

It ended up coming down to Sprint or AT&T

Sprint was offering the better deal.

Not that I minded T-Mobile..they had excellent customer service, but aside from the Android they are severely falling behind. And I was tired of losing cell service every time I visited people in the South.

Ayu Sura · 08-28-2008, 11:50 PM

Verizon's got the most interesting looking phones, I think, but yeah, I wouldn't have gone cdma, but I guess it's okay if you don't intend to use that phone anywhere but the US.

Congratulations, with this post, I now pronounce you man and wife.

You Joshua, are the wife.

She dies. Soon.
