“I put a product called tireflys on the valve stem of my 1999 harley davidson Electra Glide classic. These cadgets give off light as the wheel spins. After 15 minutes of riding on I 75 I developed two flat tires at the same time. It seems that the tireflys remove the stem from the tire. I crashed my bike on the left side of the interstate- luckily I was able to hold the bike up until it was only going about 5 to 10 MPH. The bike sustained $7500.00 in damage. I was ok, luckily I was able to plant the accident enough to minimize the damage to me. …”
