I dropped a rented R1200RT while reversing in a sudden snowstorm in
Southern California in February. When I tried to pick it up myself
(reflexively) I managed to stress my dodgy lower spine to an extreme
degree. My riding companion was a very stout fellow in all senses of
the word and picked it up like it was a CG125.

I was in great pain going over every tiny imperfection in the pavement
for the 80 or so miles back to El Centro. Luckily I had a bottle of
Vicodin at the ready but it wasn't a pleasant few days after that.

A bottle of single malt would have been better innit.
