WTF!?
explain, please?
ahhhhhhhhh, alright..
well, started off as going to go for a 10 minute ride on my new to me 03 DRZ400s
then I though, hmm..ill fill up and take a cruise along the intracoastal and hit some twisty roads....
then I spotted this nice little park with a trail leading down to the water....it was low tide and there was all kinds of stuff to look at
so I hit it, take a few "laps" and decide..."1 more"
well, followed a deer trail..made a wrong left turn and found myself in quickmud...didnt even realize it at first, but I made it the first 30 feet and fell short literally by 2-3 feet..had there been some momentum, it owuldnt have been an issue
I wrestled trying to get the bike out of it myself ofr about 30 minutes (mind you, Im in mud up to my KNEES trying desperately not to lose my shoes due to the freaking OYSTER BEDS that are everywwhere..)
I had forgotted my cell phone, couldnt rmember any of my boys #'s nor my GF's....
its getting dark and the tides coming in...the bike is slowly SINKING in the mud.....about this time the mud is well over the cases and cyl..the water is about 6 feet from the bike by now..
I go knock on the only door around with a light on and its an 85+ y/o couple...they let me use a phone and I was able to get butti on the line after another 30 mins...
by the time he gets there we are BARELY able to fit his truck thru the gate posts (no vehicular traffic)
we are able to drag it out pretty easily with the truck, but for awhile there I really thought I was ********ed and the bike was toast....
a wrecker would not hgave been able to make it down there, nor would they even have attempted...
the only way to really have gotten it out was with 1000' of rope, and drag it from the road....
2 minutes after we got it out, it starts raining....I haul azz home, notice a car already punching in the gatecode for my gated community...so, I skitch in front of it and go thru the gates...
it was a cop :sad6:
he was very cool though, nnoticed that my bike and myself was covered head to toe in mud...I told him there was a slight incident and was just trying to get home asap...
he said he was just making sure I lived there and to have a good night! :wave::icon16:
thanks again john! :hail::hail::hail::hail::hail::hail::hail:
