Whilst washing my Uly for the Nth time; specifically the right side of the front wheel, my middle finger got sliced pretty good by the inner edge of the front disk. Had to take a break for a little first aid.

I think I'll take some emery paper and break that edge a little...

That cut, and my low beam headlamp burning out at 18K miles, are the only negatives about the Ulysses so far. Mrs_Greg would add the lack of the Dr's attention to honeydews on the weekends.

I noticed that before it had a chance to get me.

Feels like the sharp edge of a metal part that has just been machined.

Makes a nice clean cut. It'll hurt later.

Amazing, the same thing has happened at our house as well!

Me too! I now have to schedule things like mowing, time with the kids(when they won't ride with me), fixing things around the house, and the boat...the poor neglected boat.

Must be why the new H.D.'s have rotors w/rounded edges.

I've sliced into my thumb and then index finger so far when cleaning the rim (in between the disc rotor).
Thought about looking into that before I do it again.

Yep, that rotor edge is sharp. Its one more excuse for not having to clean my front rim.

I let the 5 year old clean the rims. Her fingers, hands and arms fit in there no problem, she does a good job of cleaning and she loves to help wash the filthy pig when I actually do it. I'll look into knocking the edge off when she decides she doesn't want to help anymore and I have to do it.

Joel, give some thought to what you've just posted. Some would think you have no regard for the risk a sharp rim poses to your daughter. I don't think so.
