2 crashes in 10 days (what is going on)

[f1eric]

the front tire slid out a 2nd time. I went down on the straight
going into the turn. can the tire be F#%& up or is it me.
I just got anther 10ml of morphine and 2 vicodin so this
may make no sense. my rotator cuff is F$^$ up and
a broken thumb. I'll be OK the bike will also be OK.
the front tire has couping I've been riding for a long time
so any one have any idea.

sorry to hear of your bad luck.

A million things could have went wrong. If your front tire is shot and you gave it too much brake you could have caused the front end to wash out.

dang F1, what's up man? Hard for anyone to say about your tire, we don't know all of the details. How many miles does your front tire have on it. Cupping is definitely a sign of wear, but wouldn't just cause ya to crash. How fast were ya going into what kinda turn? I hate to say it, but it's really hard to blame the tire unless it's just plain shoddy, and then who's fault is it that it wasn't replaced? I hope things start look'n up man, that's just some plain ol' bad luck there!

It may be silly to say, but the only time I have had the bike actually slide out on me was due to low tire pressure.

I had a cupped front before my last change. The bike would dive in hard on turns, but if I held it, it wouldn't actually slide out from under me. It just felt scary.

Is it possible that it started to dive down fast on you and you went with it instead of maintaining the turn?

on it.speed was 35-40mph

Dang, F1. youve been down more times than a hooker on 50c night. :-D

I have heard that they can seperate, where the outter layer floats over the inner layer, and it wanders on the road like a flat tire.

There wasn't anything on the road, like sand or gravel that might have caused this?
