Free Harley, if you can lift it.

My buddies and I found this on the road yesterday while out in the mountains. It looks as though he came out of the previous corner a bit off and wasn't lined up for the next. He braked but couldn't bring it to the left enough after and went right into the drainage trench. Luckily he was going uphill so I think he was alright. No sign of blood or the rider, but we did find his HD half-face helmet, HD jacket, and gloves neatly stacked behind the barrier on the other side of the road. We figured he must have started walking back to civilization.

Now there's something you don't see every day!

Man, that is rough......poor rider.

 

[FB400]

seems like an appropriate place for a harley to be

 

[mrphotoman]

the slightest curve and BAM the harley is in the ditch lmao

 

[Dave in Houston]

I hate it when that happens.

 

[Red Wazp]

Comes with center stand-sort of.

left all his gear huhhhh......:iconbeer::iconbeer::iconbeer: sounds like someone was having a bit too much fun.

Too funny! But, really, could probably have been any rider. I'm just laughing because of the 'free" thread tiitle. I've went off the roadside once and, somehow, managed to keep upright and get back on the road despite there being a lot of crevices/rocks, etc.

Those $100 harley walking shoes finally musta come in handy.

To be fair, a lot of roads over here in the mountains aren't the best on cruisers. This is the section of the 460 he went down on. Lots of twists and turns. These roads are more suited to sport bikes.

what a sight
now i know why they call these bikes hogs
you'd need a crane to get that thing out

 

[stryken]

LOL... you guys the ones who wrote ouch on the saddlebags?
:spank:

Little salt for the wound.... :sinister:

 

[MidLifeCrisis]

We shouldn't bash Harley's.

I'm told 80% of all Harley's ever build are still on the road today.

The other 20% made it home. :BLAA:

 

[mikw73]

That looks like a great road! Maybe he just forgot for a second that he wasn't riding his FZ6?

 

[chunkygoat]

Well reiterates my theory -- that hardley's are good for only 3 things:

-Draining the pocket
-Making a lot of noise
-Going in a straight line



But definitely an interesting find. Hope the guy was alright. At least he was wearing gear unlike most harley riders....and looks like the bike didn't take too much damage. He landed upright after all - if I had to crash, I'd probably pick this scenario.

 

[red06]

they rip good but can not rip through the corners that fast , i see them in ditches a lot .This one probably took a turn too fast and a few seconds later he was stuck in that hole .

 

[spine]

Not surprised he's left it, how the hell can you get it out of there?! LOL

 

[Humperdinkel]

Best place for it :thumbup: either that or tied to the end of my anchor rope

 

[7UPyours]

well at least he didn't lay it down ..
