Default wtf?
so I noticed today that the support bracket for my muffler snapped off somewhere. All that is left is the piece actually bolted to the frame. That means, at some point, a piece of metal about 8" long fell off my scooter....oops

Oops...
One of my front seat bolts and nut flew off striking my buddies fairing on his Ultra. I felt like a bag of chit. Plus I had to ride two hours with the nose of my seat bouncing around cause it was no longer bolted down. He wasnt as pissed knowing my nuts took a beating all the way home.

A buddy had a tip fall off his V&H Big Shots Long. It bounced off the road and took out his son's turn signal on his Sportster. At least he kept it in the family.
I was thankfully riding to the right while his son was directly behind him.
