Includes a picture of the bike. My question is about the current fad of balloon tyres. -if these were any good then surely something similar would be fitted to sports bikes. There is mention of a "tank-slapper". Wondering if a heavy front wheel would accentuate any tendency for such a thing to occur, once triggered by a bad pothole or other road surface fault. driver behaviour, vehicle condition and speed were trotted out by Waka Kotahi as factors, even though these were ruled out at the time.
