I Got a Flat Tire AND Dropped My Africa Twin on My Way to Go Motorcycle Camping

I was so excited to head out to go moto camping on my Honda Africa Twin so that I could meet up with Beards, Bikes, and Camping and to motorcycle camp overnight before we took part in the "Pack it Out" forest clean up event organized by As the Magpie Flies. It turned out that the most exciting part of the trip happened before I even got to the campground. I got an Africa Twin flat tire in the front and had to remove the tire and swap out the tube on the side of the road. After I had completed my whole Africa Twin tire changing operation, I was tightening my bags back down on my bike and ended up performing one of my signature motorcycle fails: I accidentally pulled my bike over, dropping it all the way to the ground. I had never picked up my bike before, so I had to figure out how to pick up a Honda Africa Twin by myself for the first time on the side of the road. Afterward, I ended up dropping my bike again (off camera, sadly) while looking for Travis at our original meet up spot. Fortunately, I was able to locate him at Jones Creek Campground and fill him in on my whole Africa Twin flat tire and motorcycle drop adventure.
