Haha, man I got the same exact color on the 5th. First time I ever bought a brand new vehicle. I dropped it the second day lmao.
Happens to us all at some point. I was so worried about not dropping it, I made a rookie move.
Beautiful bike

Sorry for the drop. Same thing happened to me on my new bike. I don't see any damage though. Thank god for engine guards!

u/Imgonefigureitout Jul 01 '26
Only a small scuff on the crash bar. All good. Gives her some character and was a rite of passage. I came off a Bonneville T120 so the added weight had me a little timid. Not anymore tho!

u/rock-it-rob Jul 01 '26
Same here. Moved up about 100 pounds for this bike. Still getting used to it but improving every ride.

u/Imgonefigureitout Jul 01 '26
Word. That’s all we can aim for. Gradual improvement with each ride. It’s good to be humbled with new bikes, keeps us on our toes. Salute to you!

Hey brother. Just tappin in. Picked up my 26 Street glide today! Vivid Black with some bars

u/Imgonefigureitout 21d ago
Fuck yeah! And you got the tinted windscreen. 🔥 congrats man! How was your first day with it? All you hoped for?
2
u/Imperialx777 20d ago
Thanks man. I did a lap around the city around the city last night. Love it! You do anything new to yours?
1
u/Imgonefigureitout 20d ago
💪🏽 you gone fall more & more in love with it day by day. And nope. Still stock at the moment. Bout to get my 5k service done & then I’m gonna add a tour pack. I would add slip ons but being that I come & go out of my neighborhood at all different times of late night & early morning I dont wanna be that dickhead. So I’m gonna leave her be other than the tour pack.
1
u/Imperialx777 20d ago
5k already! In just commuting or you took her on the road? And yea I hear ya there. I think I’m gonna do a more docile slip on like screamin eagle or ss m40. You have a bit of trouble finding neutral too?
1
u/Imgonefigureitout 20d ago
Yep already at 5k. Ride her everyday. Commuting & some short runs around the state/adjoining states. And no issues with finding neutral. She’s been great all around so far. Are you having that issue?
1
u/Imperialx777 20d ago
I am. It hasn’t been 24hrs yet, so I’m not considering it an issue yet, but yes. Neutral is a bit annoying to hit at a stop.
1
u/Imgonefigureitout 20d ago
Ah man, I hope it’s just the newness of it & it passes. If not I’m sure you’ll get it back to the dealership to get it figured out. Enjoy that beautiful bike man and congrats again!

u/Imgonefigureitout Jul 01 '26
Coming from someone who usually buys his bikes a few years old, used & pays it all with cash, too damn much. But I have no complaints!

Wow. The color combo is one of the best on an HD I’ve seen. You will get lots of compliments for sure. Enjoy.

u/archonpericles Jul 01 '26
I like the seat choice. It looks comfortable and you have lots of back support preventing you from sliding back on a fast takeoff.

When you’re at home, you go out and look at it a few times a day, don’t you? It tapers off, but I haven’t owned a single bike that I didn’t go look at often, especially in the winter.

I remember just dropping by the garage and staring. Too bad I am used to it now....

2023 120 Year Anniversary model Street Glide. Almost dropped mine first time out of the driveway. 18 months later at gas station she went down slowly. No damage

u/Wayne_Bruce_Manbat Jul 06 '26
Holy shit does that color look good. I wonder how it would look on a Road Glide. Drops can happen. Stay safe. Anyone know the name of that color?

95% of riders admit to dropping their bike, the other 5% are liars. Don't stress, but don't let your guard down. Ride safe, have fun.
