Default I am offically a dumb ***

For the first time in 13 bikes over the years I backed the bike out of the garage, was thinking about something else, got off bike and low and behold, didn't put down the jiffy stand, I learned 2 things, you can pick up a street glide (not easy) and saddle bag guards saved me from raising hell with the saddle bags.

When you're pissed off no bike is too big to pick up.Of course you pay for it later on.

2 questions as curiousity overwhelms me.

1) What else were you thinking about?
2) What was the first thing that went thru your head as you watched it happen?

If thats the worst that happens to us were lucky. Happy New Year!!
