Car: 2013 Triumph Speed Triple R
Default High Speed + Underinflated Tires =

My car came with these stupid pressure monitor valve stem covers that leaked. I brought the car to a tire shop and *thought* they had fixed it. I got lazy and didn't check my tire pressure before I left Carson City to come back to LA. Needless to say they were still leaking. That plus some high speed antics led to the following. This happened a little while back but I just grabbed the photos off my phone. I was stuck outside of Lancaster for a few hours.

'bout 85 when it blew out. 'bout 40mph faster a little before that. I barely even noticed actually. I wasn't even sure I had a blow out until I pulled over.
