 Not personally. I met two guys though. They were riding together, "somewhere
in Kansas", when one of the bikes front tires blew. It was on a Goldwing.
He described it as the ultimate endo. The guy that it happened to was returning
home via the backseat of a station wagon. His wife was driving as he was in
a body cast; all four limbs immobilized. His riding partner was still on
his bike for the return trip.
 I took a good look at my front tire and replaced it the next day. The
poor guy claimed that there were no hazards on the road. That the tire blew
pretty much because it was worn out.
