Funny Harley Siting

[MikeERideWNC]

I am working in Lake Charles, LA.
And sitting on the side of the road is this thug on a Harley.
He is revving and revving the crap out of this bike.
When suddenly the side cover ejects and the battery shoots out and lands on the ground.

I almost wrecked my rental, I was laughing so hard.

:histerica

did you sidle on up to the thug and say, "'scuse me sir, but I think your battery thing just fell out."

That's too damn funny!! LOL

We took a ride one day up Hwy 88 around Kirkwood. Coming back down the hill we see a HD on the side of the road. We stop to offer assistance. Guy says I'm OK just looking for my spark plug?? Seems like it rattled loose because of the engine vibration and when there was just a couple threads left the engine compression sent it flying !! I'll be fine he says. It's happened before:eek:

Happened to me in 1976. I was riding my '74 XLCH and the plug shot out of the front cylinder and hit my riding buddy in the thigh. Like a knife, threaded tip went through the leathers and levi's, and stuck with the tip sticking out. He pulled it out and tossed it to me.

There's a guy here in Tampa Bay somewhere with the worst looking Rat Bike Chopper I have ever seen. All manor of junk, wire, wood, OD Green Paint, flip down toilet lid thats a back-rest, flip it down and it raises what would be the back seat to reveal a plastic oil pan turned upside down on top of the oil tank.

But Wait, Days Mo!

When he rolls to a stop where he plans on shutting off the engine he parks the bike still running on the side stand in neutral and gets off the seat, flips down the ass gasket backrest and removes the oil pan from it's keep.

He then positions the pan under the engine in just the right spot, then kills the engine, whereby the "engine" pukes all of the oil it has and most of whats left in the tank in about a minute.

But Wait, Days Mo!

When he decides to ride again, say after 6 or 8 beers, he finds his way to the oil pan that by now has collected all the old rat had to give.

This final bit is the trickiest part as it requires a little coordination to accomplish cleanly.

He flips down the lid and throws his left leg over the seat so that he's facing back-wards with the oil tank exposed.

Then he stands the bike up straight and picks up the oil pan with both hands and pours the oil back in the tank, grabs a rag and wipes out the pan; the rag is the oil tank lid BTW.

Then he throws the pan over the oil tank and stand up to let the lid fly up while balancing the bike and steps off the bike and then back on it facing forward and hits the starter before any oil runs out on the ground.
