what a great day!!!! NOT!!!!
helped pick my buddys road king up this morning as it was upside down on the side of the road after being totalled and rolled several times (thank God noone was hurt badly)
then my wife and I just went for a ride to meet up with some friends, they went on to another place, adn we decided to come home (in the rain)
got about halfway home and as I was coming out of a curve, my bike starts wobbeling BADLY. I immediately stop, we get off the bike and I take a looksee at what is up.
NICE!!! total bearing failure in the rear wheel, the wheel (drive pulley and all) has shifted to the left, grinding tire against fender, adn pulley against swingarm, and other side of wheel the bearing seal is hanging loosely on the axle between the rotor and the caliper/swingarm.
soooooo
10 am tomorrow morning, rush to HD dealership and get new races, seals, bearings, and grease and get this SOB back together before HERDstock.
Bad news, but on the bright side, better to happen 10 miles from home then halfway to Kentucky.
Just called Dave to confirm what I thought, and he tols me what I need to get, Thanks Dave:wine
