I tie a ratchet strap to my crash bar, anchor it to a good size tree and tip it over until the bike is at a good lean. Once that is established I "bounce" the bike. Pulls my bars back out with little effort. I've done this several times and works fine.
Seriously, I’m glad it wasn’t worse, and that you and the bike are just fine. A few scratches, and a slight bend in the crash bars just turned it into a true ADV bike!!
Glad you’re ok. It happens man! Lucky you had good boots. I had cheap adventure boots on last year when I took a spill and broke my ankle. So now I wear motocross boots. Keep having fun!
its been almost 7 weeks now, seems like a broken ankle would have healed by now... I must have done a number on my ligaments and tendons. Hopefully soon I'll be back on the dirt and gravel!
dang, glad your good to go, i have klim adv boots, and i keep looking at motocross boots.......i'm not gonna lie, i was cracking up at your buddy trying to keep from laughing, because that is exactly what would happen to me with my friends LOL
Yes sir, if you ride with friends long enough, the opportunity is there to make fun of each others poor choices! Once you know they are ok of course! 😂😂😂

Glad there’s no serious damage to you or the bike! The ground has definitely gotten harder over the years. Wish someone would look into that!

So sorry that happened! Glad it wasn't worse.
It could have been worse, Happy it wasn’t!!
I went down about a year ago and the bike bounced off my leg. Caused swelling and than a nasty hematoma and bruising.
It’s no fun when the bike starts riding you! 😢

I thought I did ok keeping the laughter in!!😂😂
@@ridingthethinlinesexactly!! me and my friends are pretty rough on each other lol
@@Motoramblingsyou did!!! I was cracking up!
@@Eds_PanAm 😂😂😂
Asphalt hurts when you hit it.
Bet the wife chewed you pretty bad. 😂
Glad nothing is broken and bikes can be fixed or bought by insurance companies 😎👍
Luckily it wasn’t asphalt, and he was very lucky nothing broke. The bike just has a bit more “character” now!😂😂
You sir are correct! The wife was none too happy with me!!! However after 37 years she kinda expects some of my foolishness to catch up with me!😂😂😂
Glad it wasn't worse! Now the bike has more "personality" and patina.
Right!?!
Crashing sucks but I'm glad you're ok.
Thanks! Just some character marks and bumps and bruises!
glad it wasn't any worse than just a sprain. Rear we wear these types of boots
Don't sweat it man... we all make mistakes. In 6 months it will be but a distant memory
If you’re going to be dumb, you better be tough! Too soon?😂😂😂😂
Nah! There will be more opportunities… just a matter of time!🤣
@@ridingthethinlines I’m trying to bite my tongue, just a little, because I know it’ll be me , probably sooner rather than later!😂😂😂
I need a haircut too
Haha! No more haircuts!
