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.

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.

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.
