Barry, glad your Ok, it serves as a warning to us all to check our tyres.  I hope you get the bike back on the road soon.

I like Hoist's idea. Have a new tire put on. Order all the painted parts. Duct tape the scratches and dents, and ride on. If you want it to look better, spray paint the duct tape with watermelon paint. No way I'd not ride it for 3 months. I'd ride my bike if it was painted with primer.

Barry, so glad to see the post and thanks for posing on Don's bike too.

He's been looking for a date ever since he left the pizza girl with Scot in Cripple Creek.

Seriously though, hope your recovery comes along quickly, the rib and wrist will heal and the bike can be repaired.  We just can't replace you, so it was truly fortunate to happen at low speed and not have been more serious.

Get well soon, Rog

Most importantly: glad to hear your ok Barry!

You have a very nice bike that will get better soon. An incident like this just gives the bike a little character.

Smiler, Watermelon is what we  call the green 06 SEUC Barry rides. Its that lime green/brown bike.

Ramp is an offramp from the interstate.

Thanks Fired00d, I understand that tyre tread may be the reason, in your opinion is it worth fitting TrueTrack, is there much  difference in the ride.

I have neither True-Trak or Ride Str8 so I can't say. Some that have had them have said they were the cure all, and others say they still have the instability problems.

John,

Had about 8.5 when we noticed low tread...about 600 miles later and the last time I checked...right after the wreck it was bald and not round...it was flat bottomed.

Hey Barry, just got home. Glad you're doing fine. Thae bike will wind up better than ever! Get that thing taped up and back on that iron horse! It was great riding with you (up til the mishap). See you in Sept at Ken's! Hoist!
