      Stupid Kickstand

      May 6, 2021 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 70 °F

      So, remember when I had that kickstand issue in the middle of April? Well, the same problem started again yesterday afternoon. This morning, I rode to Old Fort HD to take my picture and was getting off the bike to call Round Rock HD when the stand collapsed. The bike fell on my left ankle, and my stomach turned when I heard a very loud pop. The guys around HD picked up both me and the bike and called an ambulance. Now I'm waiting on the x-ray results to see if anything is broken. It's definitely sprained and very swollen. Fingers crossed I can slap a wrap and a boot on it and call it good for the next 6 weeks.

      The dealership was awesome and rolled the bike inside the shop with all my stuff. The manager gave me his card because he has 24/7 access to the building so I can get it out whenever I need. I love Harley!!

      Other than this mess, the morning ride down 59 was twisty and quick and smooth. I stopped at a natural dam and had to do a 3-point turn in loose dirt and gravel. Of course I did 🤣.

      So long [for now], and thanks for all the fish! ✌️

      Day 47 mileage: 342.5 (total 10114.8)
      HD Dealership Challenge: 2 (total 87)

      Update: The ankle is sprained and very swollen, but the cuboid bone in my foot is broken. I wrapped it, got my boot on, and just rode 100 miles to the end of the rally 🤣.
