Most motorcycle tires blowout, etc---are caused by owners being stupid-----overload/underinflation/using bike for what it was not designed to do....like pulling trailer-----you can sign me on this as BSc Safety.

I always get really cynical when they say "we take employee safety seiously" or "your call is very important to us."
