    Question Cup of adrenaline.

    On the road back after bbq and some mushroom hunting, right in the middle of the nowhere I got my first (and I hope the last) tire blast. It happened on the 85 km/h. There where I, my wife and 2 my children inside the car. Its our luck that it was desert road and blast of the rear tire not front one. After that I changed all tires to the new.

    Glad to hear that you are all OK.
    In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.

    I can't imagine how it was on the bike. You are lucky that you are ok after it.

    Yap, its absolutely nothing around me in radius 50 km. Nearest tire montage 85 km from the blast place.

    Luckily minimal damage.
    Mate of mine destroyed his back mudguard when the tyre let go. It was a re-tread.
    Was a CRD

    I had a re-tread let go on the front of a Datsun 1600 many years ago and aside from almost causing a crash it dented the guard and smashed the indicator assembly.
