Dropped it today. Slid on some sand exiting a parking lot trying to yield to a truck on the road, when I finally got it stopped it was over a drainage dip and I reached for ground that wasn't there. Went over in slow motion. No real damage to the bike, slight muscle pull in my arm trying to save it. My buddies and me had a good laugh over it. We had just been talking about the stupid mistakes that caused each of us to drop different bikes over the years. I had mentioned (and knocked on wood) that I had never dropped the Road King but was sure it would happen sooner or later. Didn't expect it to come 10 minutes later.

Learned my lesson for the day, knocking on wood don't help for $h!+.

 

I am glad you are okay! and the Bike!

 

Welcome to the club. I slid on some gravel in a corner and went down too. messed up the crash bar....glad it was there!!!!!

 

Doesnt matter if you break a limb, as long as your bike doesnt get scratched or marked up.

 

Happens to the best of us Havn't dropped mine yet but know it can happen anytime .. Knocking on Wood here anyway regardless if works or not ..

 

Glad you and the bike are okay, lost mine once getting on a freeway onramp. some one had spilled a bunch of diesel fuel, hit the slick and down we went!!

 

There are those that have and those that will. At least ya got it over with with no real damage!

Welcome to the club.

You probably knocked on laminated particle board. You have to knock on solid oak.

I pulled in to work one morning, and the grass was cut the day before, kinda long, and it was wet from the dew. When I went to turn around to back in, it slipped, and I dropped it. I was embarased, and had to wash grass off of the side of my bike.

 

Glad to hear you are OK. Hopefully it's out of your system now.

 

As I have heard before. It's no IF, but WHEN!!
