Mostly motorcycle related but the first picture of a car front disk really scares me. Assuming the car passed an MoT no more than 12 months ago, can the disk surface really disappear like that in a year? Blimey, strewth and other forum-permitted expletives.

"This tyre blew out at 100mph on the M20. The rider managed to stay on the bike and pull over. We were impressed that the Michelin stayed on the rim"

Personally I would have invented a few swear words taken up smoking seeing that. I was impressed that the rider stayed on let alone the tyre.

I can assure you this is not unique !!!!
A guy I worked with complained about his noisy brakes.
A few days later he came in to show me a very large shim thick washer.
Yes it was the disk but just the swept area which had completely detached from the hub.
No expletives, just a cold shudder.
He too was legal re Tax insurance etc.

It makes you wonder what is on the road! :-((
