Don't you wish you could afford to have one?

92% of all Harley Davidsons ever made are still on the road... the rest made it home.

Thats hillarious!

When Motorcyclists fall off their bikes they try their damdest to save it.

Obviously Harley Riders just leap off when it gets out of shape....
or do you think it just shook him off?

[StoneY]

Keep us posted on the post-mortem result eh?

It locked in between two gears and had a crack on the top of the gearbag

I reckon it will be a circlip missing or dropped out. do they have circlips or to they push a bent nail thru a hole on those things?

Sorry dude!- missed your post:rolleyes:

It was the gearbox it has locked up and split the case:buggerd:

[MIXONE]

Did the poor bugger keep it upright?

I just found a pic of some new water cooled touring model Harley.
Not sure of the model, they all look the same to me.... :whistle:

Pretty gutting on such a new bike. Bet the guy was pissed.
Still, presumably it'll get fixed under warranty.

Ha ha -I saw that on an american forum He was turning around in a carpark and he dropped the front wheel just off the tarseal and the rest of the bike just followed down the bank and into the river. it was about a 4metre bank!:clap:

Apoligies,the guy wasnt actually giving the camera guy the finger,still it was a huge fuckup.:clap:

I couldn't think of a much worse road to take a Harley, especially one of those FLXHYZTGD (whatever!) models than The Tail Of The Dragon.
Bloody nice bit of road on a bike or in a car that is made for carving up the twisties.
It's VERY popular with the sportsbike and sports car fraternity in the US and attracts it's fair share of MotoGP wannabes, with of course the resulting carnage (the cars aren't much better either) and of course the cops like to hang out in the area every now and again too....

You can search it on YouTube and find any number of videos shot from bikes and cars if you feel so inclined.

(for those that don't know, this is US Highway 129 in North Carolina)

I think that one is the overtaking one , where the tit overtakes a car on some twisties then shoots straight off down a bank

you tube , harley . or biker overtaking

May be wrong though
