    I'd done two long rolling burnouts on it then when i locked up the back wheel and slid it sideways it popped not off the bead but popped the tire. then the rest happened really quick! I've learnt a thing or two about this sort of stuff and can normaly tell when a tire is about to pop but with the slick it was a little different!

    Oh and i'll always chase you!!

    Or, I change the light bulbs in the Cats Eyes..... you can get a lot of mileage out of that one
