Well, like I said, I held her up successfully. It'd be too bad if it did indeed fall over and I had to get those extended bags I've had my eye on. Yep, toooooo bad.

Every cloud has a silver lining. You'd be surprised how many Ooops! Have happened on purpose. Especially with the married guys who need an excuse to mod their bikes
Dropped my Fatboy twice. Been lucky with the RKC so far.

Yeah, with my Train, I didn't even bother with any "Ooops!"'s. I just modded. This bike, I'll have to be a tad more creative.

My last bike (05 Kaw Mean Streak) did not have a stand that locks in place like the one HD uses, one day I needed to run a power cord out of the garage, when I was pulling it out, it got caught on the stand and down the bike went.

Pulled in top get has beside a smoking hot blonde with daisy dukes on and was thinking of something clever to say.....ok I was looking at her azz. Leaned the bike over and it never stopped, just right on over, kickstand still up. She came running over and
told me "i will go get those 2 young guys to help you pick it up SIR. " Needless to say, I realized why I ride a geezer glide.
