My Front wheel broke today

I had just made a high speed pass around a corner when I noticed a strange vibration,I back off the throttle and looked down but did not notice any thing unusual so I picked the pace back up and all of a sudden the front end collasped and threw me towards the bars, at that point I shut the motor off. I was very rattled and walked around the front of the machine and looked down at the wheels, I could not believe what I was looking at, the whole center of the wheel was breaking up into small pieces, boy was I pissed. So I got on the phone with my dealer and explained what had just happened, he understood and said he would bring out a loaner so I could finish cutting the grass, those snapper dealers are great.

One day I will buy a 10 LOL

I had visions of a nasty high speed get off at Road America next week. After all the guys I told that I wasn't worried, this woulda been bad!!
