I hurt.

I haven't posted a life snippit in a while so here we go. You may have seen my post when my husband and I bought our new Harley Davidson motorcycle. Previously, we owned a HD Fatboy (yes, that's the model name) and we recently swapped the old boy for a Road King, a former NYPD bike.

I rode the Fatboy without any issues. It's a great bike, perfect size for me. It's heavy, but it's well balanced and handles with ease. Saturday was the first day I was able to get out and ride the Road King with my husband, me on the back, and Sunday I took it for myself. Today, everything hurts.

I hopped on the bike fully confident in my ability to handle it. I started off great. Rode down the street and stopped at the stop sign. I leaned, ever so slightly, to position myself to turn around and head back...and I dropped it. It weighs almost 800lbs and I am seriously not equipped to hold it up. It's top heavy, sits a lot higher than a Fatboy and is way too big for me. Just the slightest lean caused it to fall over. Thankfully, we have crash bars on the front so I didn't scratch anything or hurt my leg, but I think I pulled every muscle in my body trying, and failing, to keep it from falling...ouch. I was fine yesterday, not even shaken up, but today EVERYTHING HURTS! :(
And that's my story.
