Sound slike yo just freedup some storage space you would have used for items that you would have never looked at again.

I like the insurance claim idea. I'm sure the parts are higher than your deductible. Welcome to the forum and maybe we will see each other. I'm just a 100 miles east of ya.

I can't imagine anyone that driven a truck for very long would know that would possibly happen.

Omen!! No such thing.

I'm a survivor of an unsecured load, changed lanes coming off exit ramp and there was a box that appeared empty so in the second to decide I hit it rather than trying to swirve back and get rear ended by traffic but there was a roll of roofing paper in it. Bike and I were out of service for the rest of the summer. Be thankful you didn't cause an accident and hurt someone. Enough of that, welcome to the HD world and enjoy your bike and the customizing.

I had borrowed some tape to secure the box lids[did'nt want things blowing out of the boxes] Ok, so I'm driving up the freeway and the biggest box decides to fly out of my truck and lands smoothly in the middle of freeway traffic. I cant just stop, so I decide to pull over futher up the road. [maybe I can recue it] I put on my flashers got out of my truck and watched freeway traffic obliterate this large box containing my stock inner fairing, stock windshield, and some other small box not quite sure what was in it. [I did call Highway Patrol and report the obstruction] It took little or no time at all for this box to become pieces of plastic and paper. Man the rest of the way home I just coud'nt help but think " what a way to begin the journey ". peace

Bad omen. Having a nodding acquaintence with the laws of physics comes in handy on 2 wheels.
