It Finally Happened I Dropped My Bike.
I had my 2012 Softail Slim for 5 years 10,000 miles and Never Dropped it. Now that I got 2017 Street Glide Special I go and drop the thing.
The Engine Guard and Highway Peg caught it thank God. No Damage.
I guess it's a good thing I waited till I had an engine guard before I dropped one.
People really surprised me though. Everybody patiently waited as my bike was laying in the middle of the road and two guys got out of their vehicle and helped me pick it up.
I am fine the bike is fine but I was more than a little embarrassed.
I know what happened. I have developed a terrible habit of holding on to the front brake too long. Letting off the front brake and finishing the stop with the rear is the way to go.
Strike that last Statement. Motorman from Ride Like A Pro Videos explained it to me.
