OK, I said I would do this so here goes. After a lot of different bikes over the years and one Road King, I finally got a NEW Road Glide last February. Took it home and the VERY FIRST NIGHT dropped it in the garage not once BUT TWICE! I had to ask my daughter to leave (I have to pay $.25 for every curse word and that cuts down on language) but I told her I couldn't afford to pay her for what I was about to say. Wife came out, laughing, after she saw I was ok and said "well I'm glad you got that chit over with'. Some minor damage, mostly to my ego, so it was all good.

SO....how many of you have dropped, wrecked or otherwise damaged your new or new to you bagger within a very short time?
THis should be fun

 

Dayum, I did it in the first hour. Wanted it out of the way quickly.

 

I have a friend that did.

 

Hell no!

 

This is going to be fun, I'm gonna go watch NCIS, keep up the honesty and the humor folks!

 

 

man I hate to jinx myself but I have never dropped a bike that I have owned
(since 1972). I have 73,000 on my flhtc and have never even been close to dropping it. Heck I even took the wrap around bag crashbars off right after I bought it and have been thinking of taking the front crash bars off too. dang I better knock on wood.

 

Nope. Nada. In fact in over 20 years of riding I have yet to drop any of my bikes. Prolly just jinxed the hell outta myself. Better go kick it over so it doesn't happen in front of a crowd.

On a side note I have started it in gear, downshifted instead of upshifting, and took off with the kickstand down. All in public and all attention getters.

 

Nfw.
