Default Fishtails and my brothers shin...
Well, I finally got my fishtails on my Roadking last week. My brother figured out last night why you don't run through the garage after drinking. Them things took a CHUNK out of his shin...Left a pretty good sized slab of shin bacon on the tip too....Might have been the funniest thing I have ever seen. Pics inbound soon...

Yes, fishtails can be a pain in the *** to work around the bike with. I have nailed my shins several times with them. I can almost feel ghost pain when I am walking around the back of the bike now.

That'll teach him to stay away from your bike or it might bite him again.

I had a similar wound on my shin from the hitch sticking out on my truck. The truck didn't give much. Now I ALWAYS remove when not in use.
