Repost for the morning crowd.
They are out there and they will eat your wheels.
I got home from work a little early on Friday, right around 4:30. There was a guy sitting in a car by the apartment entrance. This is very common but what was not common was the fact that his driver side tire was flat. I checked to see if he was aware and he said yes but AAA said they would be there WITHIN 3 HOURS. Sucks.
So I went and picked someone up an hour later. Still there.
I got back an hour and a half after that. Still there.
I left to go out for the night about 45 minutes later and he was still there.
Why was he still there? Because he didn't have a spare. I had asked if he wanted a hand, anticipating that was the case, and he confirmed he had an inflation kit but the tire wouldn't hold the air. The pothole basically devoured his entire night.
I hit a monster pothole Saturday night during the snow storm (full wheel, down 4 inches easily) and the impact was devastating. Thankfully, no damage to the wheel, tire or car.
Beware the pothole.
Hellcat from the Boston auto show for your trouble...and since I'm on my phone.

I'm taking my car in for a service today, and adding to that a tire change, because I discovered yesterday that one of the many free hobo jacuzzis that the city installed colossal potholes we have left a sizable bulge in my right front tire.

Potholes are murder on vehicles with four wheels. I often wondered what would happwn if you hit one on a motorcycle.

I wanted to see if I could find an example...half of the results for "motorcycle hitting pothole" show videos of people driving over small ones and losing control. The other half are articles that include the words "motorcyclist", "pothole" and "dead".

YES! I've been wanting to make this reference to people but 99% of them never watched Scrubs so the jokes are just with my brother and sister.

I fear hitting one of the massive potholes we have here in Michigan in the spring time on my motorcycle and going over the handlebars. Then MDOT just saying "well it's your fault". GFY MDOT

This makes me glad I travel the same path every day to work. I know (roughly) where all the potholes are. You can say I have a 'method of attack' aka, avoidance.
They get really bad on dirt roads here as well. And with dirt roads, new ones are always being added.
