Default Horrible Noise...

Today was a beautiful day, rode all day, But have a question for all 07 bike owners...

Was sitting at a light and there were some cagers admiring the Glide and I went to just ease off the light real easy...

Apparently didn't have RPM's high enough and a bone wrenching Rattle/Knock insued.. Added a bit of R's and it pulled out OK..

Has anyone had this happen?

I made sure the RPM's were up to take off from then on...

Other than that, the day was great....

The only time it has happened to me, was when I tried to take off in 2nd or 3rd gear.
