My street glide blew over in the parking lot on my military base. Minor damage thanks to another Harley that broke my bikes fall.
But how much did the wind have to blow to push it over. I was out of town when this happened
Anyway the bike is good and I still surprised to hear about it.

 

Seriously? Was there a tornado involved?

 

If it's been lowered more than stock or if you have a cover on it can all relate to how much wind takes to blow it over.

 

F5 must have run through town

 

I was TDY so I have no idea how much. All that I was told was there was very high winds and hail in the area. I'm just glade it did not get smashed up to much. From what I've been told. Just the grip got chewed up a little.

 

Normal wind and storm ain't blowin' a Street Glide over. And a storm strong enough to blow one bike over, is going to blow damn near every bike over.

Someone had something to do with this.

 

Even with the angle on kickstand (yes, I called it the "old" name) and depending on location you parked the bike (in relation to wind) it would take a fairly sizable gust to knock it over. Is your stand stock...are you sure someone's not messing w/you & hit it over instead??

 

It almost happened to my Ultra way back when at the Dealership. The bike was parked in front of the showroom when a gust actually stood the bike up to almost vertical before dieing off and letting the bike settle back down on its sidestand.

Several of us watched it happen from right inside the glass windows just 10 feet from the bike, but 50 feet away if we tried to get to it via the front or side doors in the building. Kind of a helpless feeling!

 

Could depend if the bike was parked on asphalt or concrete. Was the bike at the end of the line shielding other bikes from the wind. I carry a flat piece of plastic that you see at harley dealers to put under my kickstand when parking is a questionable surface.

 

If it had a cover on it, not much. They are wind sails under the right conditions. If you didn't have a cover, it must have been some serious wind to push it over.
