On a recent BMW ride I got stuck on a hill.
There’s nothing unusual about me being stuck on hills, and I know what needs to be done. I was lucky there were a few kind souls around who helped me heft the bike up on its wheels and bulldog it around. I rode it back down, spun it around, eyed in my line, and had another crack at it.
Unsurprisingly, I cocked it all up and was once again left with a 1200cc adventure bike on its side on a loose, rocky hill, and once again it needed to be wrestled upright, wrangled around, ridden back down, and, much to every-one’s relief, ridden up without a hitch on the third attempt.
