no but I did ride a harley through the high sierras in march in a blizzard, was snowed in and stuck at a diner in truckee, no I didn’t have the donner burger that was listed as the lunch special
Edit: *LOL* well of course I do, that’s why I didn’t eat it!
I know that somewhere in there, there has to be a joke about a cannibal franchise.

car drivers never expect and never look for bikers riding in a cold, rainstorm, its dangerous to ride in these conditions, plus ur HD can’t take the splashing of water on its electrical system without the water getting into the electrical system and causing problems. Leave the bike at home, take the car the next time, nobody is impressed

I can’t say I have those particular maladies but I have had similar luck. I don’t avoid rain and Harley electrics do fine it it.

Fatboys are pretty tough. Never had anything like that happen, but I did lay my 883 down on the e-way…after some cager decided to take my rear wheel off the road for me…Then he didn’t even stop to see if I was ok…Some people.
Keep the Shiny side up, bro.

Boy, what a sh*tty day. I see you made it through it okay. I have ridden a Harley, in Ohio (Findlay area) in the rain, in the cold, with my prescription glasses coated with rain drops and more water running off of the brim of my half shell helmet, with a suit and tie on and in a 25 mph “horizontal” wind. I have gotten caught on our lovely Ohio interstates in these conditions with fresh black top and no paint lines at 10 pm sandwiched between the cement barracades and a lovely tractor trailer to my right trying to keep his empty trailer from crushing me. However, I do not have diabetes, but I do understand the sugar crash (I am an EMT). I assume that is what your emergency was. I would only hope that this type of an emergency does not befall again anytime soon. Best of luck in the future.

With that tale, How did you not expect to get some skeptical comments especially how you did it with great skill. (i.e. which none of us could ever hope to duplicate) I’ve done the back and forth insulting thing before. I thought it was fun while doing it. But, enough is enough.Whether you are or not, you are coming off as a stereotypical fruity,catty gay man. If you want to insult motorcyclist’s, do it in another section.
BTW, good job for saving your skin.

Well you wanna know the worst part of it all? The fact that you acctually paid good money for a worthless Hardley Ableson Fatboy.

Glad you’re OK.
Though I kinda question how you have become an experienced rider if you’re making some of the choices you describe. (riding without prescription eyewear, seemingly hitting a curb in the middle of the street, etc.)
Ride smart, ride safe.

Everything but the suit, tie and sugar crash.
I like hurricanes and blizzards.
High winds are a blast. Hit a big old pine that fell across the road one november night. Landed right next to live power lines that were down too.
Glad you’re alright, bend anything?
