Out past Woods Pond a bit and then back.

As I was coming back on Woodland Road, I saw a motorcycle coming, not an unusual sighting since the Hell's Angels have their clubhouse on Woodland Road, but rather than go by me, it pulled off into one of those Quonset-style garages on my left. I didn't think too much of it since I knew that a couple of guys had their cycles in there and were working on them occassionally as I walked past.

Still, I shot a glance over to see what kind of bike it was, and noticed the guy still on his bike, but the bike was leaning well past vertical onto his left leg. I hustled over to see if he needed help, which he surely did, only to realize that the bike was too heavy for me to pull off of his leg. So I scooted to the left side of the bike--his foot was stuck between the muffler and a bunch of gardening tools. It took me a while to pry the tools away so that he could free his leg, but I still couldn't push the bike vertical. What a weakling! :-)

He said he'd just leave it there and get a couple other guy's to help him later. As I was leaving he said it was a godsend that I showed up just as he needed some help.
