It took Me about a month, pulling up to My friends house, showing off My new Ultra to Him and His wife who were standing out side watching Me. I was trying to look cool, but got to close to the curb, with no place to put My foot down and over she went. No damage to the bike, only to my pride.

First ride on my brand new 07 Ultra that I waited a long time to buy (after child support is done, I'm buying a Harley!), pulled up to a stop sign, looked both ways and took off turning left in what I believe was second gear...chug, chug, crash! Minor scrapes on the engine gaurd, I was so ticked I straddled that thing and picked it up, 12 miles on the odometer, never happened again, end of story

I actually waited a year or two, but then sorta let it slowly lean waaaay to far over in the garage.

but to really put the frosting on the cake, I had to get my 16 YO daughter to help me get it back upright.

As I posted earlier, not yet but been close with the wife on it. That would be EXACTLY my wife's reaction. Stand there and bitch while the bike is on its side
