Hi folks,
A few days ago, I saw a guy riding down the highway on a hardtailed sportster. He hit a couple of bumps that almost jarred me off the seat of my pick-up. The poor guy's butt came off the seat and his feet went behind him and all the other drivers and I kinda slowed to a stop and watched this guy wobble and zig-zag off the side of the road into the bushes. He wasn't hurt, just embarrassed and pissed off.
My question .......... is a hardtailed bike really that hard to ride on bumpy/potholed roads ?
Kinda scary from what I saw
Thanks for your time
