Vintage Veloce 21 Posted January 26, 2019 I'm hoping someone on the forum lives nearby and could give me 15 minutes of help here in North Park (in the city). Yesterday morning, riding in the Anza Borrego desert, I caught my toe in the mud and broke my fibula in two spots. It was a long day getting home and diagnosed. But the muddy KTM is stuck in the back of the truck and I can't get it out (being on crutches with a broken leg) and into the garage I have some friends I could ask, but none of them are familiar with unloading a bike from a truck with a ramp, and as we all know it can be a "procedure". And my wife isn't up to trying this. So... is there someone nearby who knows this process and could unload it for me? I'd really appreciate it! (PS, will the mud be a problem to leave on there a couple months? Usually I would hose this off pretty quickly.) Carl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
erik_26 31 Posted January 26, 2019 Hey Carl, I am in Chula Vista and can lend a hand if no one else closer chimes in. What time do you want to do this? I can help get the mud off too if you have a hose. I have a pressure washer I can bring, but I don't know how you feel about your bike being pressure washed?

Vintage Veloce 21 Posted January 26, 2019 That is very cool Erik! Let's see if someone closer is available. I can be flexible on timing, as I'm not going anywhere, and the bike is safe in the truck for as long as necessary. And I have a pressure washer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
