Back on Halloween day, 2011, I high sided my Rocket III Triumph on the interstate at 75 mph. I was cruising along at 70 or so, hit the throttle a bit, and suddenly developed a death wobble tank slapper. Next thing I know, a lady is holding my head in her hands, telling me I've been in a crash. All I remember is the wobble.
I'll always wonder if anything I did to the bike was to blame. I've always done my own maintenance, repairs, installs, etc. Maybe I screwed something up???
I have no training, except for a little bit learned working in my dad's Esso station back in the 60's.
( note to you younger guys: before there was Exxon, it was called Esso).
Anyhow, maybe I did something, or failed to do something, that caused my Rocket to wobble. But it was sure scary, and a close call. Lots of luck, ATGATT, and a guardian angel saved me to ride another day.
Y'all be careful with your CC installs. Follow all instructions, don't get in a hurry. Do it right the first time.
And put the Connie on the center stand, NOT the side stand, to do the install.
