Hi, I am in Hout Bay, Cape Town, South Africa. At 23 bought a Goldwing 1975, fell off with tank slap at top speed. Now at 60 have bought a 1998 EG with 7000 K´s on clock. Lovely bike but twice have stopped using front brake and over she went. Can barely pick it up. Does this get better with Joe whatchamacallit exercises or should I get a lighter bike. The 2011 Road king is 30 lbs heavier. I am a bit scared every time I come to a stop where I must turn. I only need a bike ( Harley ) for 50 mile trips as a Sunday driver. Please give advice, thanks. I have no one to ask except sales people who I never believe anyway. Will practicing exercises help or am I possibly a natural bad biker and should I pack it in. I run a small HD club in my valley and am supposed to be the main man. Not the main man who falls over twice in 50 miles at dead stops!!!!!!!!!
