Stupid is as Stupid Does

[pegasus1300]

As a famous American folk hero once said. So my friend and I rode the Mirror Lake Highway on Saturday. It was a great ride. Afterwards I put the Spyder in the trailer. I put it too far in and couldn't open the frunk so I thought I'll just release the parking brake and let it roll back a little. Yeah it rolled back ok and I couldn't stop it so it chased me out of the trailer and rolled over me and the end result is a broken right foot and 6 weeks of no riding:gaah::lecturef_smilie: Fortunately it wasn't worse

So, you are trailering down to see us?

I won't be coming down. It's my right foot so I can't drive either.

Feel better soon. I did roughly the same thing with my truck last year. Thought I put it into park. Actually put it into reverse. Got out. The door knocked me down, the tire ran over my foot. Truck kept going through the intersection, finally stopped by a tree. I chased it on my side of the street. A nearby jogger chased it on the other side. No joy.

I broke my right foot in the 80s and drove with my left foot .Six months in a cast .

Egads Peg, sorry to hear that, did that already with my 2020, no fun, but no damage, chased it down when it drifted into the grass. Amazing how that sucker can get away so quickly.

Heal up---- Our old bones don't heal up as quick as they used to. Stay healthy----- In these strange times good health is of utmost importance.

While any injury is bad news, the one I hate the most is anything involving the feet. We never know how important mobility is until ours gets handicapped by an injury. I'm sending you some spare mojo for a quick recovery.

Ouch! Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

I believe it says in the Owners Manual somewhere that if you must release the parking brake to move/push your Spyder......BE ON THE RIGHT SIDE WHERE THE BRAKE PEDAL IS. :banghead::banghead:

Get well soon. Also, get some Aspercream Roll-on for your foot. It's great stuff. I used it for my bruised ribs and for my chest after my triple-bypass.

Bummer timing, partner, but prayers up for a quick and complete recovery. It's amazing how much we take those things at the ends of our legs for granted until we have a problem with 'em.

Bugger......hoping for a quick recovery for you, Paul :thumbup:
