The tire ripped open and it wasn't just a tube failure? Yowza! Dang, John, that had to be some fancy riding to keep it upright. Thank goodness you're okay and the bike came through it with you.
I was around the next corner, "Where's John?"
Do a you'e, then not wanting to, but looking to the right. Lo and behold their's John on the left, leaning over the bars wearing a countenance of great relief. Another you'e and up along side him, "What's up?" Points and says "Blow Out". 
John and I duck walked and pushed respectively, the ole girl just off the road onto a shoulder that was both narrow and angled away from the roadbed...
Amazing bit of riding John! Karma was in full force, i.e., straight-a-ways timed just so. Bet John has more to say on that huge aspect.  Can't say how I would have handled the blow out, but John's results where as perfect as one could imagine. Fine bike handling John. Very fine indeed.
