Looking for tips on how to remove tire from helmet. Did a trip from north GA to Savannah and back today. On the way back, I got punched in the side of the head. Of course I knew I'd been hit by something, but wasn't immediately sure what or if I or the bike were okay. Saw the culprit: a disintegrating rear tire on a tractor trailer. I seemed to be able to move alright. Bike still handled okay. Got ahead of the truck, put my landing lights on (an admore light bar in hazard mode is awesome), and paced him ahead on the shoulder until he stopped. Helmet and shield intact. No holes in bike. It's a true wonder it didn't hit a little lower and shear the windshield off. No harm done but rubber welded to the outside of my faincy Nolan.
As if that weren't luck enough for one day, I got home and my dog tags arrived. I ordered a set(very inexpensive) with my. name, blood type, two ICE numbers, and in the last line, my medical and rx insurers. They emailed and said the last line was too long. I emailed back and said make the last line just the medical insurer. They emailed back and said it was still too long. Damn. So I replied to change the last line to Jack Daniels. Tags arrived 2 days later.
Happy Thanksgiving weekend.
