Been there. Done that. No witnesses. Ultras are heavier then hell laying on the ground.

My friend told me that Road Kings are lighter than Ultras but I wouldn't know, never dropped an Ultra.

I have a buddy who rode from Texas to Alaska, and stopped on the way at a HD dealership in Colorado. Put her fork lock on, and went inside for a break. Came out and mounted up, rode off...but not very far!  Forgot to take her fork lock off. Right in front of a busy dealership. Oooops.

did that on my KLR with my rotor lock - still have a thumpa, thumpa, thumpa when I squeeze the front binders... 

Now I use a idiot cord when I use the caliper lock, and dad left me a international orange painted caliper lock for the SERK...seems he did the same thing.

I was fortunate, nobody saw me.

That may have been a good time to change the back tire.  ;D You wouldn't have to worry about jacking it up high enough to get it out from under the fender. I'm just saying...

It's one thing to drop your bike...


  It's another thing to tell anyone about it...

It wasn't your fault.  The missing right side bag caused imbalance that caused the fall.  Luckily the missing bag didn't get damaged.

Oh, I've got one from this morning.  Made the mistake of calling Dave Mackie with the Road Glide on my mind and the credit card too close at hand :oops: .

If a man standing in the middle of jungle talking and his wife is not there, is he still wrong?
