I want to see the next picture where she gets up and beats his A...!!

I'm sure she was repeating "I told you so" all the way home.  :huepfenlol2:   :huepfenlol2:

Follow the two shots and it appears as if, pretty sparks notwithstanding, they were fortunate enough to be going slowly.  Very little distance from early scrapes and the back wheel off the ground to the point where it's about all done.  Just glad they are mostly unhurt.

Yup. Bike didn't even go right on its side (which, very annoyingly, all mine do when I - thankfully rarely - drop them.)  :(

As many have said............. that could have been allot uglier.

Anytime I see pictures like that, it reinforces the BE CAREFUL and don't take safety for granted when riding.

Notice his license plate - Florida. Not many curvy roads to practice on down there.
That was the first thing I noticed, the tag. Not trying to put all riders from a paticular state in one tallent pool. But when I talk to Florida riders that have came to the Carolinas for the first time usally thier response is " yall have a lot of curvy roads up here". :o

I prefer the saying when it refers to losing your balance and dropping your bike, or not having the jiffy stand locked  "those that have and those that will"  I have no plans on ever going down  :nervous:

I'm with Spyderglide, I think her left leg is badly hurt.


My brother's leg wouldn't have looked like this bad if his fatboy had front and rear crash guards when he was T-boned by someone making a left turn into his path.

MY issue is that he is being very careless with little to no regard for his passenger. If he wants to ride his bagger like it's a Rice rocket all by himself then good for him BUT he put his passenger in harms way.

I remember this exact turn in the Dragon, I left part of my Roadglides floor boards there. Turn came  rather sudden. Dragon was a blast to ride. I do agree  however ,that there are so many other roads near there that are just as fun tho.
