I like the guys that anything that goes wrong has to be a bike issue and not that they suck. Sure a rock got stuck and took out your front wheel. Bottom line is they were far above skill set and just used front brake in loose rock. But not smart enough to turn the bike so wheels are down hill to make lift easier. Had to walk a mile for help....well if a hurt foot think I would have put more effort into lifting the bike so could ride out vs limping a mile. If you do not have the grunt to lift a bike then don't ride it, sort of like jumping in the deep end of a pool and can't swim. The world is just filled with these people that expect it is someones job to save them....oh and it always starts with a video. If I pulled a stupid stunt like that I DAMN well would have turned off the camera. Imagine the hours of boring video they must have...
Oh and that clink clink sound....humm think that might be rocks flying up at your engine case.
Followed an oil trail on a driveable trail in Bald Eagle....oil stopped and no bike....about a mile further and yep, dead street bike leaned against a tree.

I rode my 1200GS out of Bald Eagle with what I found out later was 3 busted ribs and a partially collapse lung; and then rode it close to 3 hours home back to Annapolis in near freezing rain. Dang man, rub some dirt on your boo boo, spin the bike around, and carry on!
The day I brought my GS home with all the protection parts on it, I put in down on the garage floor and proved that I could easily lift it. Anyone that rides a bike like this knucklehead has and hasn't done that is an idiot.

Smooth concrete floor, that might have been interesting. I was going to suggest doing just what you done just to have a plan of attack how to get those beasts back on 2 wheels.
