I had a 1975 Honda CB750F Super Sport when I was in college. I repainted the tank and fender, wrapped the exhaust, and got new seat upholstery. Then one day I was riding down the highway and the rear tire popped. I kept it up, but it scared the shit out of me. Then I had to push it for about a mile because it was a construction zone with no where to pull over. Finally a cop got behind me and turned his flashers on while I pushed, and a friend saw me, parked up the way and ran back down and helped me push it, then gave me a ride home to get my truck so I could get my bike home. After that, I just never felt comfortable riding again.
