Park rangers moved the gate leading to the abandoned boat ramp. I have to walk another 500 feet if I want to swim.
Hey man, some of us can't have the boat too.
So I have to park by the graveyard. I'm ok with the extra walking but I didn't want to wrestle my bike around that little gravel road. There is no place to turn around. I spot a dirt road heading through the woods and I think "aint no hunter gonna back out of there. surely there is a place for turning around".
Nightsters sit too low for off-roading. But, I went for it anyway and found a place to turn around. Just as I'm about to get back onto the gravel I stop. I didn't stop, the bike stopped. It didn't go down. The front wheel was 4 inches off the ground and the jiffy stand was burried. She was just sitting there on a mound of dirt.
It took me 10 minutes of digging to unstuck her. Lucky for me there were plenty of loose flat-rock laying around.
After all that, I walked the mile down to the lake where I found the cove filled with boats. They cleared out quick when I started stripping. I can't imagine what they were thinking. I was covered in dirt.
The water was awesome. The lake is cooling, so there are funky currents bringing cold water up. Its better than air-conditioning.
The bike is fine. I wish I had gotten a normal sportster sometimes. Just for the extra ground clearance.

Graveyard, lake, stuck Harley and you naked. Sounds like one of them psycho horror flicks. All that was needed was the creature from the black lagoon and eerie music. The happy ending was not calling the sportster a chick bike and recognizing it for the fine machine it is..
