Well they say you learn something new everyday, today my dad learnt that if something just doesnt feel right with your bike... theres probably something wrong with it!!!

Was fine when he left but got a slow puncture leaving my flat, going down the M40 in the fast lane, doing 70(ish), it went pop, pulled over and smoke was pouring off of it.
Tyres, youve only got 2 so make sure you look after them!!
smokin hot tyres...
Good advice there dblanky 
Thats shocking, your Dad was very fortunate to get away with that
What make tyre is that
It reminds me of a horrible remould
I had a blow out many years ago on a motorbike, admittedly I did have a mate of mine on the back, which (in those circumstances) did not help. It took all the strength I had to stay on the bike, it pulled us right across to the other side of the road. It was very fortunate that nothing was coming from the other direction and I was on a straight piece of road when it happened
