On the way to Eureka Springs, or Going down on I-40 W.
« on: May 17, 2016, 10:09:15 PM »
Well sometime between 9:30 and 10 AM Central time I had the unpleasant experience of a tank slapper and went down with the bike. I was towing my Redneck Redtec1 trailer. I believe the trailer saved me from flipping and a trip to the hospital. I rode it out and laid her down staying on the low side. I was on wet pavement and running 70 mph. There was a wiggle then straight into a full blown tank slapping violent fishtailing ride. I got it slowed down to 55 then laid her down.
I did get a couple of raspberries on my arm and butt. Otherwise no major injuries or cuts. My bike didn't fair as well but I was able to ride it towing the trailer to Bumpas HD Jackson TN. A heartfelt THANK YOU goes out to FlaHeatWave  Ed and Jaynae for all they have done making sure I was okay. Also Brett Henson and Jim Castellano of Bumpas HD for getting me in the shop and back on the road safely. They were the best and I will recommend them to anyone in the Jackson TN area.
My trip to Eureka Springs continues and we will be there tomorrow afternoon.
Thanks to all that have been a part to this day and offered assistance for whatever I need. That is what makes this group so special.
I was told to buy a lottery ticket today and also that an angel was sitting on my shoulder. I do believe the Good Lord was with me today.

Mike

Thanks again for the extra check-ins today Mikey.  Felt a lot better knowing all was good and stayed good as the day progressed.  The bits and pieces we talked about are in the saddlebag ready to go.  Just glad you're ok.

At this point the next most important question then is; none of the kool aid got broke did it?!?!  ???

WoW....down on the superslab!! You rodeher like a pro Mike, glad you and your cargo are OK. I hit a deer in Colorado several years back and have always said having a trailer on saved my butt. Now you prove it again, along with Jock. Safe rest of travels and don't tell Momma til you get home.

Just read this, Unc.  Glad you were and are in the Lord's hands.  Sheet metal and plastic can be replaced but bones and skin are much harder to mend.  Glad it was just a scrape or two to you and none of the "precious cargo" was damaged.

Bumpus in Jackson is a fine dealership.  We've stopped many times and they are always nice and seem to have a ride planned somewhere all the time.
