The bad section was about ¾ to 1 mile past the fire house & Marina on 338 (Beaver Road). It comes up on you fast, just when you come out of the tight turn, be careful bud! Bob

Thanks a lot, we just traded our Wide Glide for the SERK and have only ridden it a hand full of times. I would have cried if I’d dumped it. Bob

Thanks bro, I called the local stealer and they’re going to change out the now squealing front wheel bearings. There is no side to side wobble in the steering neck so it looks ok and no fluid leaking from the front forks. The air shocks are still holding air so they’re ok. Actually, had we hit that with our WG with its spoked wheels, we would have been in real trouble. Thanks for the tip, Bob
