Almost dumped my bike
 
Going exactly Zero miles an hour.

turned out of my parking garage and went to the first stop light.... Went to put my left leg down and woah!! :icon_omg:

My leg is stuck!!

Apparently the heel guard had gone up my jeans (I was not wearing my normal shift riding jeans which sit lower).

So I managed to get my leg off before I fell all the way down, I pulled the clutch in, had a nice handfull of gas going too - one leg squated down with the other still over the bike.

Luckily I am a fugging beast and I managed to get my other leg under me and pull the bike up without her touching down at all.

Then 20 minutes later I got stuck in the rain :icon_no: But hey - all things considered a successful outing.

This is why I wear slim fit jeans and not boot cut. Man you were lucky being tall. If that was me, I would have def dropped her.

Lucky bro! i dropped mine in my bro-in-law's driveway - got my shoelace looped around the kickstand while trying to back it up a hill. I was lucky to get my leg away from the bike before she hit the ground.
