I'll bet next time he keeps both hands on the bars. There's a time to wave, &\\\\\\; a time not to wave. Tight turns &\\\\\\; scraping the boards, not the time.

I hate to see anybody go down, but lets face it, he was showing off and not paying attention, on the Dragon no less. \\; I hope he's OK. \\; I'll bet next time he'll watch the curve not the photographer.

BTW, you're looking at the reason I don't own a Road King. Per H-D it has a lean
angle of 30/32 degrees. The Wide Glide which I like for twisties is 32/35.
The Deuce is 31/34.
Please understand, the paved county road up to my house has twisties that sharp.
I ride them every day so it matters here.
Just sayin...

 \\; Obvious he was trying to keep up with the Honda in front. LOL....
and the reason he got up so fast was that he didn't want to be creamed
by another bike coming around a blind curve!
 \\; \\; Three of those frame were taken before the Honda got around the curve.
Great shots!
(I bet that guy bought each one?)

Anyone know the lean angle of a Softail? \\; I did miss my Sportster riding the Dragon. \\; As I said in another thread, got to zip out on a friends Dyna Lowrider for just a bit and screaming around a few turns on it was a real pleasure.

This doesn't even qualify as a wreck on the Dragon. \\; The bike neither lowsided nor highsided. No wrecker needs to be called. No one needs to help him pull it out of a ditch. \\; No law enforcement. No medical helicopter. \\; I think he just fell off the bike and it sits there in the lane waiting for him to get back on. \\;
