Mrs RC66 crashed my Harley
 

Heading out by the distillery past Blanefield with Abby, Garry, and my wife (on the Harley) when she clips the pegs on a roundabout. She lost it and mounted the nearside kerb before swerving back onto the tarmac and veering into oncoming traffic before mounting the opposite kerb and sending herself and bike down a verge into long grass and marsh.

Wife's ok thankfully, but we were pulling clumps of mud out of the bike and I've got a broken indicator, gear lever, and some scratches to the shiny paintwork.

Thats the main thing :thumbsup:
Hope shes not put off.

Re: Mrs RC66 crashed my Harley
 

Sounds like she got off lightly glad she's OK.
Bodge the HD, flog it and buy her something with higher pegs.
Cuddle her and keep a tight grip on her. Wives that share our hobby are to be treasured.

You sound like you were witnessing your missus as she came off, a horrible position to be in. Very glad she's ok, hope you are too.


Aww what a lovely thing to type Mal :)

Re: Mrs RC66 crashed my Harley

Awwwww thats a lovely thing to say Malcolm :)

Peg shares the same sentiments......I asked him what he'd do if I binned the ZZR, he said its only a bike love!

However question...... is this the same Harley that was won in a raffle? :confused:

Re: Mrs RC66 crashed my Harley
 

Glad she's okay

Are they pegs or footplates? if foot plates (or weird pegs) I'd swap for something that protrudes less.
Cheers

Re: Mrs RC66 crashed my Harley
 

:smt041 Yeah absolutley!!

Glad she's ok and hopefully she''ll get back on soon, hope your ok too. Bet you got as much of a fright as she did.
That'd be my worst nightmare, watching & knowing there's bog all you can do to help. :(

Re: Mrs RC66 crashed my Harley
 

Cheers folks. She doesn't appear to be too phased by it, I think I got the bigger fright watching it unfold in slo-mo.

It was the bike I won at the end of last year which we're intending on punting to put towards a new house now that baby RC66 is with us. unfortunately I think we've knocked a couple of Harley Davidson points off it now.
