Thanks for the info. This sucks, that tire only had about 5k on it. It had plenty o' life left.
Mine only had a couple hundred on it. I had just changed it for my cross country trip!! :angry:

A year or so back, a guy on a ridgegback had his bike in for a back tire change after it went flat on him while he was on the freeway. I asked him if he was able to maintain control. He said because the tire went down slow, he had enough time to get it over to the side of road. Said he thought it was a metal strap that on the road that caused the flat. This situation and Ray's are the only two BD flat tire situations (whitle riding) I know about.
Ray your situation scares the Sh#@ out of me. I'm glad you made it out of that one ok. How steep was that ditch?

:rant: :up: I agree with kcnjamie ... is your life worth $320? Hope not ... I had the same dilema (spelling?) ... had only 4k miles on my 300 and I tried to same $$$ but $$$ saved is not worth going 75mph and wondering if the tire is going to separate ... besides no one here in Cottonwood would patch it ... to much liability ... so I cough cough coughed up the $$$$ and I can sleep better at night not having to worry about the tire ... but sometimes I lay there thinking of other stuff I've done that could of gotten me killed or messed up ... so spend that tax refund on a new tire and be safe ...

It was shallow enough just glad it wasn't a drop off, a guardrail or tree line! :eek:
