Is this what Scer means when he says "tire changing off bike"?

You know you're slow, when your rear tire pulls out to pass. :lol:

Wait, I was supposed to torque it to how much? :dunno:

Dunlop debuts on-the-fly tire changes after disaster at Daytona. :D

Sounds like the wheel or hub shattered.

Yeah, watching the video you can see the wheel is still mounted on the rim, minus the spokes.

I would hate to be the guy that inspected that rim. Glad he was ok.

When do you think he noticed?
A. When he heard the sound of bodywork.
B. When he noticed his apex was a bit wider through this corner this time.
C. When the tire passed him.

D. When the rear end dropped over 6 inches.

From watching the footage, it looked like he knew something was wrong as soon as he exited the corner, but kept going.... then all hell broke loose. :lol:

Maybe they can use it as a roto-tiller or edger now?
