Our Accident
Chuck,

I always read your posts and appreciate what you share. I'm glad you and
Kathy are safe. Anytime we deal with steering tire failures, anything can
happen. While the construction area was what probably created the debris,
those barriers maybe kept you from straying elsewhere. I think your message
to us all is a testimony to the construction of these vehicles we focus on.
Be thankful that the damage was confined and you were able to drive so far
home. Good luck with the 'rebuild'.

Try this number for Thomas:

713 851-9693 cell

It's the number I used to communicate with him when he was parting out the
Bird two and a half years ago.

Regards,

Donn

Since I am looking for parts for out Wanderlodge, folks will probably want
to know what happened. So here goes:
<snip>
Last week Kathy and I were headed to Nebraska from Fort Worth. We had
stopped in Guthrie, OK and I had checked the tires, etc. About mile post
231, north bound on I-35, we were in a single lane construction zone between
concrete dividers. I hit a piece of metal that couldn't be avoided and it
made a great deal of noise. While I was thing that I would take the nest
off ramp and see if there was any damage the left steer tire exploded. We
were only about 2 feet from the concrete divider and we hit that at about
50mph. "Bouncing" off that pointed us toward an off ramp which we took to
exit the highway. .....
