Im glad you werent too hurt but I am a little curious as to what it did to the rest of the transmission and engine etc... was there any damage or was it just limited to the tire/tube?

It was limited to the tire only plus LOTS of clean up from the slime. (Never use that stuff!) I was lucky b/c I was only wearing a karting suit with no pads. The suit allowed me to slide on the asphalt & it also prevented me from getting any road rash.
