Must confess I don't know what looks wrong on the back brake.

Interesting to see the blown out Macadam, abliet one that was already damaged.
Back in 1997 I had Macadam 100X on my GS500E. One day in the summer I was riding around with my now wife on the back. We were riding through Guildford and I thought the handling was a bit odd round right handers so I parked up in a layby and popped the bike on the stand. Spinning the back wheel round there was a huge blister where the rubber had detached itself from the carcass.  The blister was about a foot long and three inches wide. I called out the RAC bloke as I had to get back to Harlow and he said he'd never seen anything like it before, basically a delamination.When I got the tyre removed I sent it to Michelin as I was pretty cross. If I hadn't noticed slightly squiffy handling (which I could have put down to a fidget **** pillion) it could have blown out. Michelin claimed there was nothing wrong with the tyre! I asked them if they'd inflated it on a rim, as the delamination isn't obvious when deflated, and they didn't want to know. I have never bought a Michelin tyre since. Not because of the delamination as such more for fobbing me off with such blatant lies!
