Riding down the road today a truck wiped out in front of me and I had to come to a complete stop ASAP from 85mph.
I employed my common sense, and didn't have time to downshift while I was heavily braking because I didn't want to lose any rear traction. I held the clutch in like it was a winning jackpot lotto ticket, distributed brake pressure twixt fore and aft well and I was as shocked at how fast the streetglide can come to a controlled stop as I was happy that I never let myself stay in a position where someone is riding my fender..
What I noticed, though, was some clash and clutter sounds coming from (I think the chaincase.)
I rode another 190 miles without any apparent problems but I'm curious what may have caused that.. maybe just the torque being released while under high load for a while and spinning/pressing?
Anyway, home now. Time for rum, steaks on the grill and watching yesterdays Stanley Cup Playoff game.
