Help I am down and I can't get up.

A perfect day at the perfect temperature so a motorcycle ride up the mountain was essential.  Being an ex safety person it seemed best to take the satellite communicator in case worse came to worse.  So Kadizzle tested his riding skills to the limit and made it up the most treacherous part.  Back down was no problem.  Then the decision to try a different way home.  Remember that satellite emergency device? Well Kadizzle could not find it so he said the hell with it and went without it.  That almost proved a big mistake.  After riding a long way down an unfamiliar wash back to the paved road Kadizzles worst problem appeared to come true.  It was going to be a dead end.  is had been following some relatively fresh tracks so he thought there must be a way out.  With a little search he came to a place where the other guy must have gone out by cutting the fence.  The fence was crudely patched and Kadizzle was able to get it down.  This is where the trouble started.  It appeared the last strand of barbedwire was on the ground, but not it was not disconected.  When Kadizzle drove over it snagged the cycle and pitched him on the ground.  It was on a bit of a hill so he was stuck on the downhill side under the motorcycle. It seemed he was pinned and could not get the cycle off him nor could he get his foot out. Now this would be the time to be able to call for help.  The whole little mess was withing sight of the highway. Kadizzle whistled at a couple of passing cyclist, but they did not stop.  Calling Mrs. Kadizzle was starting to seem emanate.  After a little struggling it became evident it was the tennis shoe that was caught.  Freeing the foot from the shoe enabled the leg to escape.  It was not easy, but Kadizzle got the cycle upright, and managed to get going again.
