The Marathon sign was aluminum so I thought I'd just stick the flag to the bike, and of course being stuck on the side I don't normally see as I get on, I forgot about it..
Just before that I'd tipped my bike over when taking it off the centerstand while taking this photo..



It doesn't look like that much of an angle, but it was too much to put it on the side stand and when I took it off the centerstand the bike ended up tipping away from me. I managed to crack the screen on my 4 day old camera in the process.. Picking the bike up was easy, but I was flustered for doing a dumb move in the first place. Marathon was just up the road and that's were the flag was last seen..

I have enough of an issue riding two Grand Tours at the same time while on vacation.. I know why I don't ride Road Rallies..

Hmmmm, if I remember correctly, which I do, someone quoted above teased me mercilessly when I tipped over my new to me by 2 weeks Suzuki m50 on soft ground......if I were mean kind of a guy, which I am not........something about not even girls tip over their bikes? Oh the valor of self restraint. I am glad the bike didn't end up on top of your leg. Those BMW's are not light.

Bummer about the camera.
