Trapped in Dead Mans Gulch with bike

[Ramseur]

Racing through the desert I finished up at the bottom of Dead Man's Gulch with my bike and badly hurt and bike damage. Lucky I had stocked up and so patched everything up and have some water but cannot get my bike out. Lots of zombies, but i am on day 138 and horde night is is coming. Is there a patch i can get my bike up or is it lost to me? Thanks in advance.

Build a secure storage box close to the bike. Epty all your posessons there. empty also the bike content into the box. If you need, make a second box.

Now disassemble the bike the same way you assembled it (hod down te activation button E and chose the storage icon). Remove all parts except the frame. Exit the menu. Hod down E again and this time chose the HAND icon to grab the frame.

Pu the frame i action bar. Place the frame on secure ground, reassemble the bike, fuel it, fill the storage with you stuff, grab the rest AND GTFO!

This is the best information ever... I'm so glad I randomly checked this out lol... I kind of assumed it was possible to disassemble the bikes, but I'd never tried :o

Your answer warms my heart!

Well this is a small part of what 2000+ hours of gameplay will teach you. Cheers!

Wow, thanks for this it is brilliant. Why did I not think of that. Thank you again.

I did same thing on day 49 except I was going so fast I hit the opposite wall of the canyon on the way down and could prevent damage by carefully "angle sliding" down. I had a nice shovel and tunneled my way up and out from just north of radiation zone. Broke the desert surface just at the stroke of midnight and ran like heck with backpack full of minibike parts (tossed all my days loot in favor of survival and minibike basically). Went back the next day and used wood frames to block off the hole in old road so I would not do that again on way.

P.S.
Keep a backup minibike disassembled in a secure chest just in case at base(s) when you get several purple engines/tires/batteries, the game has a way of trying to rid itself of minibikes.

I found a path to climb up near that building that overhangs the canyon. I was just getting ready to dig when I found it. Then did as instructed with my bike and away I went. Two minutes later i almost made the same mistake and so am going back to fix that bit of road or a least put up a warning sign.
