Default did about 250 miles today......

weather was too nice to pass up

flew down to AC on the GSP then headed inland and trolled my way home

trolled around a little bit more then

you know the weather is turning when you come home and your fairing is loaded with bugs

That sounded like a good ride. I squeeked in 50 miles today when I got home from work. It felt good to get out

PS broke in the right floor board,, waiting on the left. One day with Tom and that'll change.

oh.....i got road rash on both my floorboards already...easier to scrape boards than pegs

i'm afraid i am going to have to chicken out of any more knee sliding though

i took a nice spill over the weekend when me and steve were out...LOL

we werent kneesliding, but we were going maybe 5 mph faster than we should have been.....crested over a small hill and i wasnt ready for the tight 90* turn

locked up the rear brake

long story short, i landed in somebody's front yard and the front fender and my street glide has some road (or should i say grass) rash on it

I don't think Harley named the bike a "streetglide" so you could slide it along the street like that?? Lol...glad your o.k.

Damage not too bad I hope?
