Hey, I finally found a reason to start another thread.

Last night I go to pull the beast out of the garage, and take her for a spin. My license has expired and I have been in Massachussetts, so it's been about 2 weeks since I had my way with her.
So I get her out and dust her off, but she wouldn't start cause I forgot to trickle charge the battery. I got her idleing for a sec though so I though I'd try my hand at push starting her.
As I am pushing her out past the fence, straddling the bike, my Right foot gets caught on the fence post. 
Well I am still pushing forward on the bike as my foot is snagged backwards. The fence posts holds onto my leg as the bike moves forward...picture it in your mind.
Straddleing the bike and pushing forward my right foot is caught on the post.  So of course the bike just tipps over on to my leg and hip. meanwhile the post is still holding on to my shoe and ankle about 6 inches off the ground. I have absolutely no leverage and am at the mercy of the weight of the bike, gravity, stupidity and sheer bad luck.

At this point I am in severe pain, thinking my right leg could snap at any moment, laying under my bike with my helmet on (SAFETY FIRST!!) I try for about a minute or two to wriggle my way out but the bike is to heavy and I am pinned in a way that allows me no way to push her off, pluss my shoe is stil pinned on the fence post.

SO I do what any helpless, crybaby, kitty cat victim would do.....I turn the key and begin to honk the horn....BEEP..BEEP...BEEP...BEEP.BEEPBEEPBEEEPBEEEPBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!

Hopeing to god only one person comes out of the house to laugh their ass off at my misfortune.

So my freind comes out and lifts her off of me, and we have a laugh as I hide the excrutiating pain behind a smile.  My ankle has a hole in it from the bolt that held my shoe onto the fence post. My Calf muscle has a big bruise developing and I think I sprained my ankle.

So I limp around a bit to allow the oil to drain back down the engine( crybaby was too hurt to keep going) and then I jump start the bike off the cage and go to the store for my daily cancer reseach supplies.

Isn't that a better story than some of the other drama being posted lately?  Ah.. Life, live it or leave it.

^- couldn't have said it better myself

Awesomely halarious story.  Glad to hear that you are alright and that the old fasion distress call AKA: BEEP BEEP worked for you.  Yes, this is a much better read cause i don't come here for drama, any crappy reality tv show could give me that

its one of those cases where you're so pised off with yourself you have to laugh

Dude!  I feel your pain...  I had a similar experience with a yard waste bin.

Cool story was fun to read.  Glad you didn't break anything

I'm ashamed to say I kinda ....well....you know...liked it...sorta..

RV - at least you had some good blood pics to show for it. All I got os a limp and a bruised ego.

Blue - your wrong, man. It broke my pride. It's hard to be a man when your pinned like a stuck pig and have to use the horn as a distress call, especially when you know the only guy in the house strong enough to lift her, will never let you live it down.

Yeah....  The pics are good (although kinda "Fish Eye" looking 'cause of my phone)...

But, at least you can still breath through your nose...  It took about 2 years before I could get more than 20% out of one nostril and 30% out of the other.

What happen? did someone hit you with it. Or did the wind blow it back in your face or something?

Yeah, RV  whats the story behind that pic?

Jeez man, glad you didn't snap your leg like a twig.  That could have been much, much worse.

-M

It was similar to what happened to you...  Things just went wrong all of a sudden...  I tripped, I fell, the bin skipped off my teeth and into the underside of my nose, it broke, I swore, I swore some more, and some more...

The funny part was when I trying to figure out how to get a towel...  I was bleeding everywhere and didn't want to go in the house to grab one...  I was also trying not to bleed on my clothes...  So I just stood around in the back yard swearing, bleeding, and spitting.    Luckily, someone heard me and went to get a towel for me...  The pic was taken after most of the bleeding stopped.

HAHAHA ! ! !

I love that story. No, no, I really do. I wish I were there.

Dude, sorry man.... That's funny though.

A few days ago some dude got pinned under his BRAND NEW goldwing at the gas station when I was filling up. I looked over and saw the freaking silver colored beached whale crushing him, I threw down my kickstand went over and had a go at it.

Goldwings are heavy. Lucky for that dude I deliver these:



Which makes me total man beast. (Like RAWR!)

Seriously though I totally understand, that moment where you're not sure wether to laugh or to cry.
At times like that always laugh.

That's the best Pandy moment I've heard in a while.
