my wife hass hers she went down taking the kidd to school a car came across the yellow line she went off the top of the corner niether got hurt bad . i gess my kidd qualifies to???
1976. FXE Superglide. Virginia beach. Midnight. Cheap sunglasses. Maybe some mind altering substances. Skidded into a ditch on dark road that turned right all of a sudden with no warning signs. Bike made it out with a dent in the tank and bent handlebars. I already hadnew Angel Wing bars for installation and some fat bob tanks anyway. I almost got it shut down and making the turn when the back tire hit loose dirt and gravel. That was all she wrote. That was another life not to be repeated. Now that I have lived through things like that, I see the light. I never heard of broken wings untill now.

Ditto. Here's mine from the other thread. Worn '76-'79.
The only criteria for broken wings is you have laid your bike down in an accident, if you earned them you can wear'em were ever you want. Most guys put them at the bottom of their leathers. ( dropp'n your bike in the parking lot doesn't count!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the criteria is hospital time resulting from a bike wreck, not just a lay down that you walk away from....
