The ST1300's side stand slipped into the soft soil on the outskirts of Yackandandah a coupla years back. I'd stopped at a school bus stop to put on my wets, the surface was damp, soft and slippery - no way I could mange getting it upright.
I tried to flag down a few car, no one was interested. It took about 15 minutes for a twin cab ute with four burley farm boys (6' 4" & 120 kg I reckon) to stop. They picked the bike up like it was toy - thanks fellas.
