Or his do rag slipped over his eyes.

 

Well I'm sure you boys are right. No man should ever go from a Honda to a Harley. Its an entirely different kind of riding, altogether.

 

Going from sabre to UC gonna be quite a bit more top heavy. get the vid. Worth it.

 

My Cuz bought a new 10 UC last fall..

He dropped it at the dealership lot when he stopped at exit to wait on traffic. Didn't get his foot down, said his foot got hung up in the lowers..

Since then he's dropped it 4 more times turning the 180* in his back yard to get it into the shed where he parks it. Mostly because of sharp turns at low speed and all the rain just makes it worse...

In March, the last time (5th) he dropped it he broke his right leg above the ankle and is still in a walking cast..

His fix was the new Trike he had in his shed now..

 

You are getting the usual smart a** comments. When I transitioned to the Heritage, I dropped it at a stop two times, no damage to bike just pride. I found initially I have to be real aware of the difference in weight and momentum when it started to lean. I focused on balance at every stop or when moving very slow. Don't worry, after a while the balance thing becomes second nature. Practice riding at slow speeds, smooth stops and gently putting your legs down, keeping the bike balanced.
It will be second nature after a while, just practice.

 

I just did the same thing last week on my very first ride.

Was planning to turn right at the intersection. Stopped the bike with the bars turned slightly to the right and felt the front brake grab just as she stopped. As hard as I tried, she was past the point where I could stop the inevitable and over it went.

Aside from feeling really stupid, I did receive applause from the cage next to me as I silently thanked myself for "googling" the term "how to pick up a Harley".

 

No, no, no. He was an experienced rider. Turning your wheel and hitting your front brakes is something you learn real quickly no to do. Honda or Harley, doesn't matter. Nah, there was something else going on there.

 

You might want to try The Advanced Rider Course from MSF to help you brush up on your riding and bike handling skills while your getting used to the weight of the new bike.

 

Leave the front brake alone on a slow speed stop!!

 

lmao Ask a dumb question and get dumb answer, wouldnt want to be in front of this kid at a ralley!!

Take a safety course!
