Well I Fouled Out Like An Old Spark Plug
Yeah that is right I dropped my bike at a four way stop. Not a person around to see it thank goodness. I had used both breaks to get stopped, and I was almost stopped my hand was still on the front break. I had just put my feet almost down and my front tire hit a melted candy bar, a Mister Good Bar I think it had a yellow wrapper. Now there are a whole bunch of us on this Forum that has dropped a bike at some point or another, but Damnit I dropped it on my right foot the rear saddle bag guard pinned my foot between it and the pavement. There I was still on the bike with my foot still up under me and the bike, well to make a long story I turned and twisted and slithered off the bike and got my foot out. I got my bike back up and rode about a half a mile home. I'll go to the Doctor in the AM and get it checked out because I can't walk on it now, It is too swelled up. Ok if you were posting this I would be laughing, so here you go have a good laugh on me, you have my permission.LOL

It's only funny when picturing this as you wrote it, but not if it's happened to yourself. Got to admit it made me snicker a little. However I can identify with you......pulled into a gas station in NM with the sun low in the sky and headed into the sun. As I pulled up to the gas pump I put my foot down and away it went. Happened to be oil dry down where I guess diesel had been spilled. I pulled muscles I didn't remember having trying to keep my bike up. Hope all is okay with your foot.

I laughed a little only because I did it too. It was on a wet lawn, and I wasn't thinking as I navigated my way to the garage that it had just stopped raining after 2 straight days of showers and boom, down on the right side somehow pinning my foot under the rear guard.
My problem was that my foot got pushed down into the mud, and pretty deep too. Probably kept me from breaking anything but it consequently took a good 10 minutes to dig, twist, pull and finally slide my leg out from under the bike.
I definitely felt a little foolish. And here's to hoping you've just got a sprain.
