I was afraid to say the same thing. My deductable is only $50 and I pay $30 a month for coverage.

I don't understand why they don't make forward footrests so they "fold up" like passenger pegs. That way if you get to that point in a situation like the OPs you won't lift the back wheel. I'll bet he still had plenty of tire left when the peg blew him out . . .

Sorry to hear you laid it down but glad you are OK. Walking away is a great thing. Bikes can be rebuilt.

glad you were able to walk away from that one. you can get the bike fixed, but it's a little more difficult to fix you.
mine did. but i never had to test them, knock on wood.....
no offense intended, but you ride a sportster. there is a huge difference when you go to a big twin. i was paying about $150 a year when i had my sporty, went up to $300 when i got my road king in 07, and again to $600 when i picked up the roadglide. always maintained a $250 deductible.

Well after 70,000 miles off bieng upright I laid her down getting off the freeway. I had dropped 2 gears and was probably doing 50 but I was to high and too fast and when I tried to dig a little harder my forward control turned into a pogo stick and poped the rear tire off the road. We both went spinning down the offramp. Everything turned out ok. no major injury's I got up and picked my bike up and rolled her off the offramp looked her over and rode her to work...
