Default OUCH! $#it

24 SG got its feet hurt. Caught a big rock while going around a corner at 70 mph. Threw the front end to the right and headed off road. Pretty violent tank slapped. Got it under control and 1/4 mile down the road she is flat. Damn Chiapas’s HD stock rim.

so off to the dealer and ordered up some chrome forged wheels and figured while the got it in…..add stage II.

"Caught a big rock while going around a corner at 70 mph" .. I don't know why they don't test them and design them to just shrug off those types of impact

glad to hear no injuries to report
