With your help I 'd like to get a better feeling for how often a tire gets really punctured. You guessed it, without a little poll we won't get a clear picture. So here is how it goes ...
Please take your total mileage on all motorcycles you ever owned, a ruff guess is okay. Divide that number by ten-thousand (10,000). Round it up to the next digit. The resulting number will hopefully be somewhere between 1 and 50.
Now count the number of times you had a flat tire and multiply by 10. Finally divide that last number (flats x 10) by the earlier number (how many times you drove 10000 miles). That's the number you vote for. The final vote will show the average number of flats per 100,000 miles.
Please help, it takes barely half a minute. If your number doesn't fit any of the options, sth went wrong and you have to start over.
Example: you had only 1 flat (= 1*10=10), rode a total of 235,000 miles (=235000/10000 ~ 23), you divide 10 by 23, your number is about 0.5, you vote for "under 1".
