Was down in Pueblo, CO last Friday and was just north of the Outpost HD store on the frontage road. Came up to a 15 mph left curve and saw that someone had dropped what looked like a 5 gallon bucket of used oil right in the middle of the curve!
Talk about pucker! Luckily, I kept it upright, but was totally careful for the next 75 miles, until that oil wore off the tires.

I've read where people have done that on purpose on the curves of the Tail of the Dragon, US129, at Deal's Gap on the Tennessee/North Carolina border.

Do you Still have Engine guard ?? Please let me know, Thanks !
Maybe I can help
.
I have a "take-off" stock engine guard (HD part # 49184-97)
I believe it fits 97-up FLHT FLHTC, FLHTCUI, FLHR and all fuel injection.
Has some scratches where highway pegs were mounted otherwise very nice .
..let me know if you would like to work something out ..I don't need much for it.
Glad you're OK!!!

Hell yes! it rains all the time here in Portland, and I swear every single city bus dribbles a stream of diesel behind it. Most of us avoid going near any bus routes while riding. Guess the gubment doesn't have to follow the rules they make for the rest of us. If it was a private rig, we'd be arrested, fined, and have to pay the cleanup costs.
