Ouch..... I felt that pain. I would be quite upset with myself to say the least. No laughing at or with you on this one. |

I would be quite upset with myself to say the least I think I used all the bad words I knew at the time and thought of a few new ones  but I haved learned in the 20 plus years of ridng it is not how you fall but how you get back on !!!! |

I did that twice on my 1100 Shadow. Thankfully, it did not way 750 pounds, and I was a lot younger. I had the lock that went on the front brake rotor. Even had a sticker on my speedo that was to remind me to remove the lock, oh well, live and learn.

I started to do that years ago on a Shadow but fortunately caught it before it took me down.

That has got to be about as bad as locking up the front break while stopping from a slow turn, but I'm sure that none of us here has been guilt of that...JTL  |
