so the other day when riding 2-up I started to get this weird "thump thump thump thump thump" feel thru the seat, coming from somewhere in the rear as I decelerated to a stop and seemed to be exaggerated when applying the rear brake - but the rear brake looks OK and has lots of material; wheel has not been off for as long as I've owned the bike. The rear tire was beginning to show cord so I'm having that replaced today, but I can't get the thump feeling to come back again riding solo and the brakes feel fine, and there is no noise accompanying the vibration. I can't see anything rubbing... so wtf.

Wheel bearing?

Rear brake rotor warp?

Was the tire rubbing the seat liner?

you reckon it was just the old tire giving its death rattle, then? I wasn't able to replicate the problem; I'll try going around the block with my lady later to see if the issue comes back [when i get the bike out of the shop probably this evening] - rear brake rotor appears to be fine

the rear wheel hugger doesn't appear to have contacted the tire and the hugger didn't contact the seat...
