Thank god for a very soft area and giant picker bush in my dirt driveway!

Loud thunder woke me up, first thought was.. get the bike covered!! haha (still gotta work on reinforcing the shed for it, so its in the open but covered)

Woke up as if my sleep was medically induced, stumblin and bumblin!

Went out, grabbed the bike from the side (shoulda got on it, will anymore) to put the kickstand up and push it to where I park and cover it.
As I was putting the kickstand up... Down she went! (away from me)
never heard the words OH SH!!!!T!!! so loud in my head before! hahaha

thank god that area it fell into was like sand, still a lil moist from all the rain lately and slightly into a fluffy pickerbush.
Also glad instinctively I didnt let it go and held onto it as best I could to slow the fall. (almost pulled me into the bush!)

But, thankful for the situation.
Nothing at all happened to it.

Just a real pain picking up standing in a pickerbush!


so yeah, if ur a lil foggy in the head from sleep, drinking or anything else.
Think things 3X over before doing it or just stay away from the bike hahahaha

wow that gave me a scare.

I leave my bike out in the rain.

Same here, only time mine ever gets washed 

I've dropped mine twice already, on solid ground.
Sliders+top case saved it from any damage, both are just slightly scratched, nothing to bother.

haha mines filthy enough where I dont need anymore ontop of what I need to degrease and scrub already.

and glad I did try to slow the fall as much as possible but slightly mistaken in doing so.

as a few hours later my lower back was Killin me!!!
It was fine after I got to work and got some aspirin.

Still not sure if it was from that or from sleeping in a bad position.
probably from that because as it was falling, I was leaning over and couldnt use my legs so it went to my back.

Good advice.  Mine took the slow fall after I was Austin Powering it back and forth trying to turn it around, then I ran over my own foot and 'nooooooo' down it went.  doh!

hahahaha I like how you seem more worried for the bike then breaking your foot.
