picking up the bike!

[stuart sullivan]

Yah Rev i know what you mean when the Pigs loaded was on a ride to a dualsport rally on Vancouver Island in early May with two other chaps and we pulled into a parking lot to admire the sea view thought i had the side stand kicked down far enough "NOT", it took the three of us to pick it up and it was still touch and go,the other two times it was unloaded and i picked it up myself. The back to the bike method up onto the calf then the glutes saw that in a video one time where this lady picked up a bloody big Beemer 1200 after she had taken the luggage off first, "Amazing".

Stu, If you only dropped it 3x, you need to live a little and get out of the garage. (he said, running for cover.) Kidding aside, I think the driveway and parking lots get most of my drops. What is disappointing is to have the wind blow it over! Especially when the pig is all dressed up as a pack-pig. On our August-2010, 2527 mile ride with my 14.5 y/o son last year (I told him, I brought you to pick up my bike) I only had to help him pick up his KLR 650 twice. Once was in the HD parking lot! Something about looking at the customers...wonder what that was all about? revmaaatin.
