sleadhed Posted April 25, 2008 #1 Posted April 25, 2008 Well I found out this afternoon on my way home from work just how easy it is to pick up this tank of a bike. I was 1 1/2 blocks from home when i was at the last stop before pulling in to the drive. I started the left turn and noticed something in the road. I was still in the friction zone but needed to cut harder to the left to miss it. Well I did not have enough throttle and she died and just laid right over. I backed up in to her, just like on Ride like a pro and picked her right up. I hated tipping over but I'm glad I know how easy it is to get back up.
Dusk Posted April 25, 2008 #2 Posted April 25, 2008 As long as you are OK. Thats all that matters. Also.. we all lay down now and then. Just get up and take a bow Did you do it with style? Got pitchers? You know we want to see pictures.

First thing you do is ---get up--look around--to make sure nobody saw you:whistling:
