i hate being stupid.

but i love that God protects me from myself:
-i had the little slim saddlebag rails on my last bike, they just hold the saddlebag up, they don't offer any protection. the stock saddlebags protectors are big & bulky & ugly.

-i sold the old bike, but bought new slim rails for new bike

-got frustrated at finding a bike at a good price

-sold the slim rails on ebay. had them boxed up in the truck yesterday to ship today.

-got a new bike last night. posted up on a bike for forum for some new slim rails after i got home last night


dropped the bike this morning, right on those big bulky protective rails.
all the sudden, i like them big bulky rails more....our God is an awesome God or i would have had them rails on last nite...

 

That is sweet bike!!

 

Those that HAVE dropped a bike, and those that will!
Glad it wasn't damaged and welcome to the HAVE side.

 

All the best riders start somewhere! I have dropped my bike also, but you learn, more your body learns to avoid certain things. You will be more conscious of your bike now.

 

Ye Must Respect The Bike. 30,000 miles and I've yet to drop mine (knocking on wood)

 

yep. it kinda feels good to get it over with.
that's a big heavy bike. been riding a road king for 2 years, but this is another level of heavy.

i rode it ~180 miles home last night.

but adjusted EVERYTHING last night: heel toe shifters, shifter linkage,
and all the hand controls

so it was totally different trying to get it moving this morning.
and the wife was yammering, the dog was barking....yada yada...
anyways, all's well when it still runs.

i stood it up, cycled the ignintion switch a few times to clear the "i fell over" kill switch,
and it started right back up.

 

thats a nice scoot bro!! ive had some close calls with mine as well, just bein kinda stupid and stuff LOL. God is awesome though

 

Now you have gone and done it! The drop bike gremlins are looking for you my friend.

 

Hopefully my demon bell will catch them. I swear that thing works

 

Nice bike 04.

Works in strange ways doesn't he?

Jb

 

Welcome to the big boy club. Mine used to look like yours until the long winter hit. The big twins handle so nice and smooth out on the open road.

 

very nice bikes

 

aren't you on a cross country bike trip?!?
how are your typing & driving? do you have a Gold Wing?

get off the 'net & ride!!


thanks. i am so grateful i did not crush it up.

sweet. it don't get that cold down here.. try to leave mine "stock"
this 08 with ABS should be the "last bike i need for a long time"

lets see a pic of yours....long as you are riding, all good.
if not, the HD dealers would be GLAD to see ya!!

 

Just got back on Monday from a 2300 mile ride.

Left Cincinnati for Nashville to see Music Row.
Nashville to Cherokee, TN to get on the Blue Grass Parkway.
Stopped in NC to ride the Dragon tail (Deals Gap). Got back on the parkway to Shennodoah, VA. Got on back road all the way to Arlington National to visits some fallen friends. After that we road back roads all the way back to Cincinnati. NO I DO NOT RIDE A GOLDWING!

 

04, is that the Candy Apple Sun-glo paint? If so, it's the same color as mine.
