I have personally never had a tire blow out and hope to not ever have that happen. During the MSF course our instructor discussed blow outs and if it is the rear you get off the throttle and coast to a safe stop, it the front goes you are probably going down, hopefully you have proper gear on. I check my tire pressure every few days, I commute to work almost daily on the motorcycle. If anything feels different tire pressure is my first check. If I haven't ridden in a week I check the tires before leaving the garage as it takes less than a minute to do.

I actually enjoy a nice cooling rain shower in the summer. Modern motorcycle tires are excellent at displacing water as long as they are not worn out. Deer scare me too, I see a group almost daily before I get on the interstate on my commute. I do not speed through that area, I know they are there and we all know how unpredictable deer are when spooked.
