Might be in the market for a bike.. Rear Tire Blowout

Been a long time since I have posted here... but it looks like the days with the Yamaha Venture might be over... and they never had a good forum...

Coming back from Gatlinburg Tn- Interstate 26 and my tire had some kind of issue- or Michelin tire had an issue... Somebody had an issue and it wasnt me. Anyone who can keep a bike up when the rear goes off the rim going 70mph... I want to meet.

Not sure what to do... Been thinking about coming back to a Nomad and putting a touchscreen navigation on it.

Sorry for your troubles, and glad you weren't seriously injured. I don't mean to add insult to injury, but that has to be the ugliest dashboard I've ever seen on a motorcycle. It looks like a cheap Panasonic radio from the 1970's.
