Default Take the Harley for a side ride! WOO!

Well, in my infinite wisdom, I took the ol' HD for a ride on the side this weekend. Of course, being idiots, my buddies were running a nice stationary burn out, and I figured I'd join in. Stood up off 'er, rev'd it up, and let the clutch out. I dunno what happened, but instead of burning, that 150 worn out Dunlop caught better than any drag radial ever and sent me into a bad ass wheel stand. Too bad when I jumped on for the ride it finally broke loose and sent my rear end to the left. I prolly set 'er down doing about 20-30mph, took 10 feet of a pavement ride, and inadvertently bought myself a new set of pipes, a headlight bulb and trim, and a new brake pedal cover. Go me! Go me! $400 fuckup in the house!

AHHHHHHAHAHAHA, I REALLY wish I was there to see that. I bet your boys were rolling laughing at your ass. HAHA, good to see you made it out in one piece though.

Congrats! You have joined the TR stunna league. HAHA. Want a cage built for the Harley too? It would be hot!

Forge fell off his bike laughing, my other friend who was with us just stood there with his mouth open, and my other roommate, Laird, just yelled, "Party Foul!"

I got a little rash/bruising on the knee, bruised my ankle, and believe it or not, it was the 1st time all night that I figured, "Hey, I'll put my gloves in my jacket, we're only going across the street," so I skinned a knuckle and rashed some of my palm.

Oh god, I've been laughing about it all weekend! I rode her down to the Harley dealer to get a new bulb and trim for the headlight, and of course, a new brake pedal. While I was there, I figured I'd get this bolt that I lost a while back. I had no idea what size bolt it was, so I brought the parts guy out to my bike to show him where it went. He was like, "Wow, that's a really nice bike. Looks like your brake pedal took a little hit though." I almost died laughing! The break pedal looked like a metal taco it was so bent and the guy said that to me all calmly and professionally. I was dying!

Of the bike or the rash? The bike's almost 100% repaired already, just waiting for Gearhead to get my set of pipes in. I can shoot some pics of the rash when I get home, but it really ain't that bad.

Dude Larry, you missed it. Two kids came up to us in Ybor and seriously asked how to join our bike gang. We just sat there with blank stares on our faces, they were for real. I looked around the parking lot and said what bike gang.
