Re: 7 minutes of pain and anguish
One of the reasons why you shouldn't go out off road on your own. Fair play though, he wouldn't take his jacket off while he was trying to get it sorted, in case it got dirty I expect. Love his little wimper at the end.

Fair play to him. He had a go at something difficult and got through it. Didn't lose his temper and probably came out of it wiser.
And now, Harry, let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.

Well he did get the idea - eventually! - but how many of us would have done the Right Thing and used his jacket under the wheel ... :whistle:johnnyboxer wrote:All the gear :whistle:

Re: 7 minutes of pain and anguish
I've never heard of that before, is it a joke or a genuine way to deal with being stuck? Either way I would explore every other possible solution before doing that...The Spanish Biker wrote: Well he did get the idea - eventually! - but how many of us would have done the Right Thing and used his jacket under the wheel ... :whistle:

Re: 7 minutes of pain and anguish
I've been stuck only once when I was out on the trails on my own. I strayed slightly off-piste from a very familiar route down near Chievely, Berkshire and hit at speed what I thought was a very, very large puddle in at the side of a field just off the byway. It was actually a farmer's slurry pit hmy: . My KTM 450 sunk nose first within a few metres and I struggled for about 20 minutes to get it out. I was knackered and very smelly :silly: .
