Dang! On top of all else!!

Linda, pass my number to Dace. Like Rod and Dana, I got all the gear and more than willing to be there as needed. No pressing issues at The CattHouse and more than willing to do a pick 'n haul.

928-530-2120.

(I even have an ol' 1100 she can use as needed. )

<edit> Was just trying to figure how I missed all this but now see first post was at 4:44 just as I was rolling down the hill to go vote. 5 pages in 5 hours shows just how involved this community is in helping our friends. Again, Derek would be proud.

Get well soon. Thoughts and prayers with you.

She's posting on her Facebook page...

howdy folks -

thanks for all the good wishes.

I don't recommend a 70 mph get-off, that's for danged sure.

My low back hurts like the devil and my right elbow, left hand, and left foot are complaining, too. Now that the anti-inflamatory is kicking in it doesn't hurt quite as bad, but it hurts like the dickens for sure. Also incredibly nauseous but I think it's the adrenaline.

I have several pictures but here's the one we all want to see so....

Absolutely NO WARNING, no squishy feel, no odd handling, nothing. One minute it's running down the road, next instant totally locked up and fishtailing. Tried to steer along and slow down some. Also tried to point for the median instead of the ditch in the hopes that someone would be likely to see me. I believe I high-sided because I remember tumbling instead of sliding and trying to pull myself into as much of a ball as possible.

Jacket is shredded (First Gear). Fortunately, I did NOT take my riding over-pants off in Artesia when I got gas (I thought about it because it was warming up but decided that it'd be getting cooler with higher elevations). Pants have a few nicks in them (Motorboss).

I'm at the budget inn because they released me (although I'm not entirely sure that was a good idea because I about passed out walking out to the lobby).

Have some folks coming in tomorrow morning with a pick-up to haul the bike b/c I definitely want to document the tire.

I'm totally bummed b/c I was halfway through my 22nd SS1K for the year (I'd set a personal goal to do 2 a month for this year). I sure hope I can pull it together to do the last three 'cause it'd be a shame to miss it now....

Holy Cr*p! I'm just glad you're here to tell the tale. Good luck and get well soon!

Holy Crap! doesn't begin to cover that. Dace, Avon has gotta stand up to this or they're out'a bidness. Keep us poSTed closely on that aspect.

Are we sure that tar was mounted in the correct direction? Check the arrow.

I'm running a new 160/70/17 on ReSTored, about my third one. Hate to see such happen.

You stay cool and call me without hesitation if you need ANYTHING! I can be where ever in just a few hours.


Pala... uh,

Wow, does that tire look ugly.

I'm not sure I'll ever purchase a Storm again. When was the last time you had checked air pressure?

Lastly, I hope all of the hurts disappear quickly.

Checked pressure this morning.

Yes, it was mounted in the correct direction.

Yep, blows my mind but you can see it delaminated and just peeled back....

don't even know where to start with dealing with this.....

* sending good vibes raven's way *

in regards to your Avon Storm failing on you ... I had something similar but not full delamination on mine ... much smaller section and I wasn't going that fast, perhaps 45-50mph...

I'd give Tim at Two Brothers a shout. He might have some contacts at Avon.

You'd think the tire company would have some liability in this! Unfortunately they probably spend more on Attorneys than they do on Quality Control. I'm sure they've got so many disclaimers the only thing they actually gaurantee is that the tire will be black.

I'm just glad you're going to be okay!

Hire an attorney. May be able to get one who'll take it on a contingency basis so you only have to pay the attorney if you win damages.

Glad to hear you're okay Raven!

Bike's can be replaced, riders can't!
