Default Dropped the Ultra.....

Well it happened already. I was loading the bike on the trailer since it was fixing to pour down rain, to take it in for the 5000 mile service. I lost my footing and she went over. What a deal. The fender on the bike got into the fender on the trailer and needless to say I am now looking for a front fender for a black '08 Ultra with silver pin stripe if anyone has one. It just had to happen before we left on our trip on Saturday morning too. Popped the fender off and beat it out best I could and threw a little black bomb can on it. What a deal! These bad boys are heavy!!

Sorry to hear that, hope you had no injuries. The bike is easier to repair than you.

Yea the old dropped bike trick. I remember a few years ago when I first bought a gl1800 heavy sucker. I trailered it home from Kansas and dropped it right in my garage unloading it. Never had put a mile on it and I dropped it. I had to sit and laugh. It was too funny. Lucky for me I had a winch in the garage to lift it back up.

Engine guards and bag guards are cool because you never know when you are going to use them.
