I am am the newest member of the 'blowout' club. My scoot stomped on a nail on my ride back from town and luckily I was only going 35kph. At that speed, I could still swerve and wobble over to the side of the road that was only like 15 feet away, but when you feel like you have no control, it feels like an eternity. Serious heart attack. I can't imagine being at highway speeds when something like that happens. I really can't imagine how much worse it'd be if I was riding anything heavier. If ever there was something that would put me off of motorcycles, this would be it. I am sufficiently scared. I'll still scoot around town, but the Hayabusa will just have to wait for another lifetime.
Stink.
I walked the 2 blocks to get home and am now trying to figure out what to do...need to find a patch up kit so I can get it to the shop.
