Anchors Aweigh

[Burnspot]

From the Blue Ridge Motorcycle Campground Facebook page...occurred just south of their bridge crossing. Solo rider ok.

No real explanation about what happened yet, but I think it's clear that thing is not built for water crossings...

What am I missing about the front of that bike? It looks like an up-front three wheeled conversion...Like a Spyder. Except, the bars are turned and the front wheel is not. I'm looking at it from my phone, so am I seeing something strange??

From the Facebook link above:

No, this is not a CanAm Spyder. Yes, it is a H-D that has a modified front with two wheels similar to the Spyder. Yes, this is the Pigeon River that runs along the front side of the campground and you could see this bike in the river from our bridge. Fortunately, the solo rider was OK, but the bike.......well what do you think?

AJ, I believe what you're looking at is very weird/bad Photochop job.

Either that, or the Harley's front forks dissolved in the water...

Yeah, I saw the front forks. I thought something was broken. Hmmmmmm.

It might be the way that rig was designed. That nose is waaay too long for the forks to be doing anything but just be there. :blink: if its not photochopped, I'm sure it's the way the steering was designed. Either Way, I don't get it.

Looks kinda sorta similar to a H-D conversion by Tilting Motor Works. Had the opportunity to talk to the owner / inventor of this rig a few weeks ago at our Isle of Vashon ride...pretty nifty idea when the time comes.

Well, it's conceivable that such a disconnect of apparatus is what put the thing in the creek in the first place.....

Goin' round the curve, goin' round the curve....

****sound like the silverware drawer fell on the floor, but amplified through a rock concert sound system****

Not goin' round the curve, not goin' round the curve, goin for a swim, goin for a swim.....
