A little damage today all my own fault

[mattyss]

Rode with my wife 2 up for the first time since I lowered and extended my bike . Ive rode it about 600 miles so far solo only bottomed out once .
i didnt think it was a great idea but off we went and this is the result

all caused mind you by the homemade plate hanger i made out of an old chrome moroso ignition wire holder for a sbc and the way i bolted it

must be a yankee thing

Crap!  Sorry to hear, bro!  Have you considered a swingarm tag bracket?

i had one and was getting pulled over with it .
I saw a really nice one from roaring toyz that mounts on the passenger peg but its like 180 about what the new rear tire will cost should have gotten it to start with

live in learn thats what its all about i guess

The lesson we learn. I've been having one of those days too!

lucky tire didn't blow.

Ouch.. Did the missing chunk cause it to ride differently?

 

[Scar]

Yeah...pricey lesson for sure.

Could have been disastrous.

Glad you made it home safely.

Well look on the bright side you get to do one hell of a smoke show before you get a new tire....

Could have been worse.

I'm just happy we are not reading another one of those disasterous threads. Looks like it was close?

Thats what i thought also maybe my first you tube video

i didnt even see the chunk missing til i got home i didnt ride my wife home i left her at the car show went home for the car and picked her up .then we entered the car in the show and had a pretty good day anyway

and yes thank god i did not have a blowout with her on the bike. an accident with a passenger is one of my biggest fears .On the way there i had no idea what was going on the bike rode exactly the same
