You weren't duck-walking a u-turn, were you?
Anyone else ever done this?

This past week, my wife and I were riding 2 up on my 2013 Ultra Classic and as I took off I got my left boot caught under her passenger floorboard and laid it down on the left side. Luckily, it didn't put a scratch on the bike, but I'm now wearing a cast on my left foot.
And that was that!

Nope...trying to picture how the hell it could happen. Only thing I can come up with ...is duck walking or foot dragging. Sorry for your accident, but your misfortune is one of the many reasons not to do that.
Feet up the very same second you start moving, feet down right after you reach a complete stop..or at least right as you stop...not sooner. Can't do those...practice practice practice.

it happens...sh*t happens
if you move the bike forward at all with the rear boards in the down position and your feet on the ground there is going to be contact made.
I think there are more of us with bruises on the back of our legs and egos than you think
How you got twisted up to the point of a tip over and a damaged foot... well that should not have happened
