Note to all with bikes in the Bonneville family.Before you leave UNLOCK the !@#$%^ forks! Bike fall down now,oh !@#$%^. Embarrraaaasing as all get out.Got 35,000 miles now and today we went to leave Mt.Lemmon at the ski lift area and I let it warm up.Go to take off,wave good buy and all that and oh sh---- down she goes.I am sure I turned a few shades of red.I did good,I did not cuse(out load).Picked it up.Bent the front brake lever,knocked a mirror loose.First time I dropped this bike.I new it would happen sooner or later.Just had ate breakfast,no beer included.Tired yes,cold yes,head up my a$$ appartantly so, unfortunately. Take your time before taking off,and try to check over the basics before going.It might save some embarrasment and money.
