Yammer Dan Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share #26 Posted April 15, 2014 Mouse wrist may be busted so no long posts today. I got this one by easing along and being too carefull. Killed engine when I needed it with nowhere to put foot down. Didn't see anything on bike but footpeg that caught it when I had to give up. broke it completely into. Wouldn't have thought those things were pot metal for what they charge for them. Later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freebird Posted April 15, 2014 Share #28 Posted April 15, 2014 What's wrong Don? You getting disillusioned with the Hardley and want your 2nd gen back? NO NO NO....just hate seeing my baby abused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yammer Dan Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share #29 Posted April 15, 2014 I got it back up and in garage but was hurting pretty good at time and Warden was going nuts about my back so I didn't get real close inspection. Seems foot peg caught entire weight of the thing and when it broke my foot was handy. Trying to ease it in there instead of just going and killed engine just as I was about 1/2 way up on edge of unfinished concrete pad. Was no way to catch it. If I had just gone in there instead of trying to go so slow!!! Too sore to make garage right now. Bout ready to burn whole thing down!!!! No its cinderblock....

CaptainJoe Posted April 16, 2014 Share #34 Posted April 16, 2014 The one thing you can count on with a second gen is that if you get it much more than 2-3 inches off center when stopped, or, below 3 mph... acceleration is the only thing that is going to get it back up. As far as the drop off, even a 2" deep pothole can get you into trouble when you've got a 30" inseam... First reaction is to put your foot down... I learned the hard way to keep mine up. Those saddlebags love feet... Takes a big man to come forward so that others may learn. You the man! Hope you heal quickly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yammer Dan Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share #41 Posted April 16, 2014 Mom used to say when I showed up she was looking to see where the new cast was!! A lot of this number can be put on accidents like foot with over 30 breaks according to doc that put it back together and accident in late 70s with 27 at once from head to toe. It is possible, Broke four in hand at once. Guy didn't get up for a while. Couldn't count breaks in leg in 06 and other foot in 09 had all 5 broke. It adds up but I hope its done. This healing crap ain't fun any more. Besides I done told Warden I quit riding like that!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squeeze Posted April 17, 2014 Share #48 Posted April 17, 2014 Dan, sorry to read about that dropped Bike. But, to be honest, i'd rather have a Injuries from riding to hard or fast than from dumping my Ride on SLOW Move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yammer Dan Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share #49 Posted April 17, 2014 Dan, sorry to read about that dropped Bike. But, to be honest, i'd rather have a Injuries from riding to hard or fast than from dumping my Ride on SLOW Move. That was one of my first thoughts Squeeze. Easing it along like a old man cost me. When that engine died it was a done deal. it just had to happen in the only spot that I couldn't put a foot down. A foot in either direction and no problem. Or if it had gone to the other side. If I had just stuck it in there like I should have but Warden was watching and I slowed down for some stupid reason. I hit harder than I ever have with such a slow drop. It slammed me down once it got hold of me. I hurt all over. Trying to hide that from the Warden but don't think I'm fooling her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinfool Posted April 17, 2014 Share #50 Posted April 17, 2014 I don't know Dan. Ya finally break down and get an old man bike and you still can't handle it. Maybe you are old enough for a trike....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
