Less than 50 yards from the shop, turning left to the highway on-ramp, the front end lets go, pretty as you please. I gathered myself up in time to see my trusty steed, laying on it's left side - in 2nd gear, circling it's way back to me, like some land locked jet ski, lol. Thankfully there were no other vehicles around to worry about.
The amazing thing is the lack of damage from this incident. Because of the design of that wonderful big lump of an engine, and my MAM X-Heads, there was absolutely no harm to anything else on the bike.
Thank goodness there was no injury to you or the bike ... just the MaMo cover. I still say they are the best covers for these boxer engines since they are tough and the rubber underneath is resilient. Better than hard decorative covers. Just wished that MaMo sold them in singles so that one could be replaced as needed.
