- You'll certainly wish you can get onto the leather. In reality you'll probably
- find yourself tumbling and rolling until you peel off enough speed to (like my
- choice of verbs?) control your slide. A friend of mine (actually my best
- friend's future father-in-law) dumped his Electra Glide at about 70mph and
- ground about half of his left bun off last summer. It certainly wasn't very
- funny when it happened, but now that he's just about healed up his biker
- buddies have started calling him "Half-Ass"!
