Crazy Story! Day on the Harley gone bad....

[onelogue]

Read the whole story. Normally i would feel bad for any bike this happens to, BUT since its a Harley i think its worth bringing attention to. haha

Oh and this had to of been SO embarrassing for the rider

The Story

Dude, that SUCKS!

I used to ride an Electra Glide, I LOVED that bike.

It's a shame to see a $30k bike in the water. Hopefully the dude had/has good insurance

It's at this time that I find out the reason the officers were so quick to arrive (only took 15 minutes for such a rural area) was because of another 2 accidents. Both north and south of us a HD rider had run off the road

Harley Riders...

You know there is a better way to wash your bike at the gap!

That paved pull off is HUGE. I could've been spinning figure 8s in there all day before I got too dizzy and rode into the river.

Gotta be tough staring at your baby laying in the water though!

damn. Talk about the wrong place to turn around

 

[Sidewinder]

I think the place was fine to turn around. The Harley rider either panicked and didn't hit the brakes or just didn't turn enough. He had way more than enough room.

Didn't look so bad in the water but I'm sure it looked like hell as they dragged it up the side.

if he cant turn a bike around in that space then he should leave it in the river.

 

[Bossanova]

When I was up there in August, my wife and I pulled over on Highway 28 in a bad ass down pour. When I looked over, she was standing about 6 inches from the edge of a huge slope down to the river like nothing. The weeds growing up hid the impending danger. I walked over slowly and took her arm and pulled her towards the street. She was like "what the hell?!?" until I said look behind you.
I have to honest... for a moment I DID think about it...

Thought for sure someone would have been hurt, glad your ok.-- I don't hate Harleys, its some of the riders attitudes I don't like.---- What if that situation was reversed. Not that you would drop your bike off a mountain, but would he have risked himself for you? Or made some wise crack about what you ride.
