Well, I recently had the front tire of my bike go while doing about 60
on the freeway.  Quite an experience, let me tell you.  First of all,
this was my 2nd bike, a 1967 Wards Riverside 350 single, and the reason
I was riding it on the freeway is another story.  But it will do 70 with
a slight tailwind on level ground.  At first the bike seemed to be turning
left slightly.  "Hmmmm  I didn't think I was putting any left into the
bike...  OOOOhhhhh"  and I had this very sick feeling in my stomach.
Because I am especially careful when riding that old clunker, I knew that
there was noone to my right and I dived for the shoulder, and then let it
coast to a stop using my oustretched feet to balance the damn thing.
Turned out to be a torn valve stem.  I think I'll stick to riding a real
motorcycle for a while...
