One for the Harley guys

[Jetfixer]

So my buddy tears his rotator cuff and has shoulder surgery. He can't ride but also can't pass up a great deal on a new top-of-the-line Harley. What else could I do but offer to help get it home from the Harley dealer.

You should have a boom with a hook and a "AAA" sticker.

Is your picture a portent of things to come?

[Chupaca]

Hope the trip was a short one cause that blows away all spec's... I would have rode the harley home....

Hey, it says in the book not to do it, so it must not be doable!

I'm glad some people are willing to try the unconventional!

[Grandpot]

I don't care how you look at it, that's funny.

[AeroPilot]

I probably wouldn't have let that stop me from getting the pic of the HD being towed by the Spyder

It also states to read that safety card before you push the mode button
The question is what was the total trailer weight & applied tongue weight? Also did you change the trailer ball to a 2"? Looks like everything still pulled fine, any other details you care to share, like Distance & speed range?? Thanks

I gotta come clean with you all. I didn't really tow the Harley. But the opportunity for the photo was too great to miss! Here's why...
1-Dennis sells his Harley due to the obligatory oil leaks.
2-Dennis wants a new Harley.
3-Dennis tears his shoulder.
4-After two months of rehab, Dennis re-tears his shoulder.
5-Dennis still wants a new Harley.
6-I tell Dennis that I'll come take his wife for a ride on my Spyder and then there won't be a new Harley!
7-Dennis banishes me from his house.
8-Dennis banishes me from his whole neighborhood.
9-Dennis sneaks off and buys this new Harley without telling his wife.
10-Dennis has to borrow Bill's trailer since he can't ride his new Harley. (See items 3 & 4 above) Bill is also a hard core Harley guy.
11-Dennis needs help getting the bike off Bill's trailer. (See items 3 & 4 above)
12-I go over to get the Harley off Bill's trailer and realize just how priceless an opportunity this is to get both Bill and Dennis.
13-I also send Bill a photo of his now empty trailer attached to my Spyder and being the nice guy I am, offer to bring the trailer back to his house.
14-Bill banishes me from his neighborhood.

What are friends for?

but as they say a picture is worth a 1000 words

[Jimboregon]

I "borrowed" your picture and shared it on my Harley buddy's Facebook page, with my apologies for not having tow hitch!! ROFL

Way too funny!!!

Just 2 comments, a) Harleys do NOT leak oil, they just mark their spot! b)I always thought that a trailer was one half of a Harley tool kit!?!?!?!?

[Purple Guy]

That's Priceless!!!

The old joke, is that Harley has sold more pickup trucks and trailers; than Ford has!

This could (should) turn into an ad campaign for the Spyder

[Samson]

Way to funny. Fantastic

[ruralgirl]

Hilarious story all around! I love it!

Actually, I'm surprised that number 10 on your list isn't "Dennis's wife tears his shoulder again" .....
