The day the Harleys HIT THE GROUND


We had a wonderful ride. Headed over to Crane MO., around 90 miles. Actually found that great little Catfish House OPEN. YIPPEE. Had a nice lunch, rode on down to Roaring River and watched all the trout fishing.

Now for the bad news... I went to turn my bike around and didn't have a lot of room between me and a curb. (should have backed it up a little more) I had the bike in 2nd gear instead of 1st and when I gave it some throttle, it died and jumped and hit the curb. It went over sideways to the left landing on the curb and a couple trash cans. I was kind of pinned under it but managed to wiggle out. Perry saw me down and under the bike and jumped off his bike to run over, forgetting that he had lifted his kick stand and BANG.... down went his too. If we weren't a couple of pitiful looking bikers! I can out unscathed, however he has a small dent (soon to be repaired) on his tank where his turn signal hit.
