The whole world was watching at that busy intersection. I was too ashamed to look at anyone . With one leg trapped under the bike, the superman strength of embarrassment empowered me to lift the bike up and gtfo of there. LOL
Anyway, it happened because I couldn't flat foot the bike. When I was coming to a stop at the light, I put my left leg down and the sand or oil in that area caught me off guard and down I went.
:\
Haha, that happened to me once. I had just gotten a new bike, which was much taller than I was used to. I play a pickup soccer game and then jump on the bike to go home. I stop at an intersection and put my foot down...and it touches nothing; I'd managed to stop next to a pothole. The motorcycle starts to fall over and my foot touches the ground a couple of inches later, but my tired-out leg couldn't take the weight and the bike slumps over as I struggle in vain to keep it upright.
Then some woman in the car across the way jumps out and RUNS over, asking if I'm OK and helping to lift the bike off me as I mumble excuses. I thank her and ride off, cloaked in shame.
