As I parked my Barnie purple connie at the All Clubs Day in Stockbridge, MI - SEPTEMBER 20th I had my left handle bar break loose. I had noticed a bit of a jiggle previously and fully intended to investigate the problem, but it broke first. Fortunately had my dad with me, driving his dependable 84 Gold Wing, After checking out the bikes He headed for home to get a trailer. Then the fun began: Trying to load a one winged, very heavy Connie up a ramp! Way too much fun for two guys. Unfortunately, he took long enough getting back all the COGers were gone, trying to beat the rain that was moving in rapidly. Speaking of rain, it cut loose just as we were in the throws of the struggle pushing up the ramp. Finally I decided to take my chance and drive it up the ramp. Not so smart. Should have walked across the street and looked for a third or fourth hand. But urgency of the coming downpour trumped common sense and safety. So I hit the top of the ramp and all thoughts and efforts turned to stopping this fat purple missile. Lacking a solid clutch since it was on the broken handle bar, I grabbed the front brake, and likely hit the rear pedal as well. Now, factor in wet plywood, and you know the rest. Fortunately barney didn't run through the front of the trailer and didn't trap my leg underneath all that weight. What it did is break my right foot peg bracket. This is not my first drop but it is my first experience worth documenting. Give me my number please.
