I was out one summer night 2016.
Running the back road of Long Island.
It was late, I was out for a ride, blow off some steam to say. Having fun, but being safe at the same time.
Heading home I felt I was getting tired, I was coming to the end of the last curvy road. I come to the end, there a stop sign there, so I put on the brakes, slow to a stop.
I went to put my left foot down, but by the time my foot should of touch the ground, I realize the motorcycle was tipping the other way, know that it was going over, I build off to the right.
Now 1st drop to the right, the other 2 too the left.
This trunk stops, girl in passenger seat, ask if I was ok.
Yes I replied just a little embarrassed.
She asked if I needed help.
Being older and smarter I said yes.
Her boy friend get out to help me, I get to the downed side, get into position to pick the bike up, to do the heave lifting myself.
On the count of 3.
OK 1 -- 2 --
The bike was up. This guy with one hand did 90% of the lifting from other side of bike.
And I think he did it one handed too.
I just needed a little help.
Just one those things you needed to be there to believe.
