So, here's only part of.the story....... I will post the rest of the story(still unfolding),after I receive members comments. I had (recently sold) a 2012 Harley -Davidson Vrod Muscle VRSCF Anniversary Edition in mint condition with only 3,500 miles on it. I was the second owner. The Bike had never been wrecked and has never been in a shop for any reason. First Owner changed the oil himself. Completely original, nothing aftermarket. Original HD tires. I owned this beauty for 1 1/2 years. I only rode it approximately 350 miles during that time. When I had the chance to ride it, I would revert back to my crochet rocket days, and rode it hard & fast on most take offs. Never an issue during those 350 collective miles. My wife and I had recently separated. My bike was stored/locked in a building with her and I each having a key/access. I moved out of the marital residence and moved closer to my automotive repair business. 1 month later, I loaded it up and transported to my shop. A few employees helped my shop manager unload it for me while I was on the phone. I wanted to take it for quick spin without a helmet(South Carolina....I know it's not safe, I am an advocate for wearing helmets) to live a little dangerously....... LITTLE DID I KNOW what would lie ahead. I hopped on and eased out into the street, and as I had many times before... once straightforward, I went wide open throttle. Immediately, I heard clank, clank along with a wobble from rear wheel. I eased it thru the next right-hand turn down a side street. So, my curiosity told me to try that again at half throttle...... I heard a little clank, no wobble. So I eased it back to my shop. Upon inspection, I noticed that the swingarm pivot bolt lock nut was completely missing. And the pivot bolt had already backed out 1/2 inch +/-.........There are 4 people who had opportunity to sabotage my bike. The possible motives will be revealed in my follow up post, and will blow your minds!!!Please comment if you think someone possibly wants me dead or if you think there is that slim chance that lock nut decided on its own, to find a new job?????

 

Contact the police. Not an open forum.

 

Nice intro & get a lawyer, if you think this will pan-out well w/ members while trying to get "free" legal advice. >.<

I call BS and trolling.

If someone wanted to do something to your bike to cause a wreck they would mess with the front end like loosing the front pinch bolts.

Swing arm nut could have been loose for a long time and it sounds like you did not do maintenance and usual visual look over on the bike, i.e., tire air pressure, visual on the tires, checking brake function etc.

Your poll is useless.

 

Yeah, yeah… Tom, I know I’m yelling at clouds again… But what the hell does this have to do with a road trip…??

… only loose nut in the picture below is the dude who took it…

 

No one cares!
