[QUOTE="TheAxeman, post: 901883, member: 1124"] Got home about 2:00 this afternoon after taking a long, slow, twisty crawl back North with Cota George. I had 2775 miles on the clock when I pulled into the garage with about 250 of them being the BRP, 22 of them being the Dragon, unknown being the Cherry Cola as Fred calls it , and the rest being corkscrews and switchbacks. Passing a car at around 90 on Rt 80 in PA my bike went from butter smooth to feeling like the front tire was completely out of balance. My first thought was that the band clamp on the smartire had snapped as has occurred on other bikes. Apparently that is the case because at low speed I can hear it thumping around in there....anybody have a spare smartire sensor they can part with? We were witness to the aftermath of a pretty horrific accident on a back road in WV. A car topped a hill in the wet, must have lost control, struck and snapped a utility pole and flipped over crushing the roof just about flat to the doors. Only a miracle could have kept any of the occupants from being seriously injured or worse. Great EOM, thank you to all the organizers [/QUOTE]
