Oh no!!! Bad omen!
Well, some of you may remember that I don't (Yet) have a bike. I've been without a bike for a lot of years now, and without a Harley even longer. 
During that time, I've had the desire, just not the means. I've kept an open mind about different makes of bikes and been on just about every forum including Honda (shadow and vtx sites), Kawasaki, and Yamaha. I've looked at their bikes and picked out one or two that I thought I'd enjoy riding. Just never pulled the trigger on one of them.
During those years, looking and discussing what is good or what is bad about each model that I was interested in, the one thing I did notice was all the Harley bashing from the various members. Things like leaking oil, NEEDING the bags for oil and tools, them always stopping to help out broken down Harley riders while if they're broken down, the Harley guys don't even look at them and keep on going, and last but not least, ALL Harley-Davidson motorcycles break down at the side of the road. Some have even said that standard equipment for Harleys should be cell phones.
Well, low and behold, what do I see on the way home from work today?? A box van, broken down at the side of the road. Upon approaching closer, I discover that it's covered in Harley-Davidson emblems and signs. Yep, it was a dealership's pick-up and delivery vehicle. Dead at the side of the road, and no one around it.
All that other stuff must be true!!!!!
A bad, bad, sign!
j/k
While all that stuff above is true, my next bike WILL be a Harley-Davidson! Just thought it was funny, and kind of ironic.

RE: Oh no!!! Bad omen!
There was no one around the truck, or I would have stopped to see if there was anything I could do. I have no idea what kind of truck it was.
