Coming into Lawton Oklahoma I saw a bloody spot on the road, looked like a deer had been hit by a car. No carcass, just a bloody spot. I hit the left lane, went around it and trucked on. 10 miles later I was on the side of the highway. I had my cruise set at 82 when it started the wobble. I was lucky there was no traffic around me and I was able to get it off the highway on the shoulder.

Those Dunlop's are expensive at the dealer. Last I checked the only tire they made in the same size Bitch takes was the OEM.

If you had a touring bike you would have room for one.
