Went out to get gas a little while ago. Light rain falling roads are wet.
I'm putting gas in truck,My back to the street, I hear a bike coming so just out of habit i turn to look. Lone Sportster coming down the street. I turn back to look at pump. I hear the sound of a bike sliding on pavement.
I turn around and a Pearl white sporty in laying in the street, rider is sitting on the curb.
Straight streach of road slight up hill Not a cage in sight.
For one reason or the other he just fell.
I start to head over to see if he needs help, but 2 guys come out of the hardware store and run over, then a car stops, so he had 4 people there already.
On guy says "What happened?" guy dont answer gets up and walks over to the bike and tries to pick it up. THE WRONG WAY. Stands below the front tire, reaches across the bike and grabs the hand grip and tries to pick it up with on hand.Gets it about a foot off the road and drops it. Tries again but this time one of the guys there pick it up the right way for him. And they push it to the curb.
Guy didnt seem hurt, straight road..no curve, no cage involved could not have been doing more than 30, Just fell over. No helmet no gloves no eye protection and no idea on how to pick up a dropped bike....go figure.
