It's always the simple things.
 

While riding down a "road less traveled" here in North Florida scouting out launch points for my Kayak, I started hearing this terrible squealing/rattling noise that didn't seem to want to go away. I stopped once and looked around, shook and rattled things and couldn't seem to figure out what it was. Considering that I was already 3 or so miles down a dirt road that doesn't get that much traffic to begin with, I figured I would just go ahead to the end of it to see if there might be anyone there. Before I got to the end of it I had to stop again and look, so I shut the bike off and and there it was... my damn brake pedal had rattled loose.

Harley's aint so unreliable after all. Sure can drive you nuts though... oh yeah, I found the launch point.

Nice! I've only had my kayak out twice this year, I got no excuses.

Dude you ride a Haley. That means vibrations. That means you have to take the time once in a while to make sure nothing has rattled loose.

Basically you are complaining that you didn't do your preventative maintenance and something went wrong.

Damn tman I was going to guess it was your crank!

Yyyyeeeeeaaahhhh no. The brake lever on the forwards of a Dyna are a "tension" operated system and can feel tight and five minutes later rattle loose. You cant keep the screw locked down. It is a stupid design.

Now back to reality.

How the hell did you carry your kayak on the scooter?!?! :icon_banana:

In case you were wondering how I actually carry it. I have the bed extender wrapped in foam and keep a foam pad under if when I'm hauling it.

Holy bejesus Tman. You take your bike off road!!!!

WHAT!?! You mean they're not made to do that? :icon_banana:

What kind of power plant does that kayak have in it?
