not that we're wearing sweaters this summer but, i just got back from my Indy and we're talking about one of the smashed up bikes in the shop...turns out the passanger was holding a sweater in her lap, sleeve got caught in the belt somehow and wrapped aroung everything...the wheel locked up, not a happy ending...so be aware and be careful out there

I was with a freind who had a similair insident last summer on our ride to Red Lodge MT. as we where getting on the hwy out of Missouls he leather which he had balled up under a net on the back of his bike, got caught in the rear hub and threw him into a power slide at about 75 mph. Luckily he was ok and had a little road rash and the bars were bent is all. We headed back to the HD shop replaced the bars cleaned the hub and were on our way. It could have been alot worse but the Biker Gods were looking odwn on him for sure. Just makes you think about everything that could go wrong. Ride Safe.
Yep - reminds me of the dusters all the "Bad Biker Dudes" were wearin' a few years back. \\;More'n one ended up with a trailin' end in the rear drive train - oops!
