Default Motorcycle breaks into 2 pieces. Guess what kind of bike it was.



"Bond County Sheriff's Deputies and Bond County EMS responded to the scene of a single motorcycle accident Friday afternoon.

According to deputies and witnesses, at approximately 3:10 PM, a Harley-Davidson Motorcycle, driven by Dan Henry, of Woodburn, Iowa, literally split in half. Henry was somehow able to ride the two pieces for about 300 feet on southbound Rt. 127 before he went down an embankment and the two pieces came apart.

The accident occurred just north of Alpine Avenue. Henry sustained minor injuries and was taken to Utlaut for treatment.

Henry was traveling in a group of Harley-Davidson drivers who told WGEL they were on their way to Sturgis."

metal fatigue. the resident harley expert at work here suggests shitty welding.

poor or contaminated weld + lots of vibration = busted frame.
