    when i was riding motorbikes, flat tires were something i'd be worried about happening.

    too bad, it happened. i'm sure the trucker feels real bad too.

    i just hope all his shiot was in order, (log book, inspections, etc,etc), it wouldn't surprise me if the lawyer tries to find any thing wrong to get money, you know, the truck being in the wrong place at the wrong time (ie, log book violations?), flat tire notwithstanding............if the truck wasn't supposed to 'be there", the bikers would not have crashed, no one would have died..........yaddda, yadda, yadda..........

    2 weeks ago i was on interstate running with traffic about 70 in the middle lane. Guy and his girlfriend pass me on a full dresser. Got about 100 ft in front of me and his rear tire blew. He about laid it down about 10 times getting it slowed down. Thank God he never touched the brakes one time or he woulda went down.

    I was going through the heart of Vegas on I-15 there stop and go traffic. I see on my right side a sports car chomping at the bit and on my left a motorcyclist looking for opportunities. I thought to myself 'I hope they don't mix it up'. A few minutes later my lane seemed to have opened up nicely but all the lanes to the left were dead stopped as I got up there wondering what it was all about that's when I saw the motorcyclist lying on the freeway not moving, his bike about 150 feet ahead on the road and the little sports car pulled over I quickly deduced they did mix it up.
