buddy system (was there is more than one 'pig' out there--nklr)

[James W. Flower]

My friend Dave took me out the local dirt roads to teach me dirt riding. He got ahead, I low-sided and managed to land with my boot trapped under the bike somehow. I might have gotten loose on my own eventually (chew my foot off?), but I couldn't do it in the 15 minutes it took Dave to realize he'd lost me and come back. RIP Dave, btw: he died on his FJR several years ago. I miss him.
