I had my idiot moment the other day when I backed the bike out of the garage, got off and forgot to put the jiffy stand down. No damage, just my pride. Damn that bike was heavy.

OK, here is my story, put apes on the Wide Glide and ran wires inside the bars. Cut shrink tube, put it on the table by my work, made all the solder connections and looked at the work bench, yep, shrink tube still on the table. For a second it runs through your mind, do I really need this just before you get the wire snips and cut and re do.
