Motorcycle wipes out in front of my house...

My stepfather dumped his Gold Wing in the driveway. That was a heavy bike.

I while back there was a skinny assed dude who put a ginormous Harley on it's side at a stoplight around midnight. He was obviously drunk off his ass and trying desperately to right the bike before the light turned green. Some dude in a pickup jumped out and helped him but my God people, why ride more bike than you can handle just to look cool?

But if you know how to pick a bike up, it's not hard even with a heavy one.

I guess we didn't know.

Seem to remember using a foot as a stop on the side of the tire.

My uncle had a few Harleys but I don't remember one going over.

Face away from the bike

I don't ride, never have but I'm thinking using the handlebars as leverage would be a good starting point.

Mine have never been more than about 500lbs. I'm also not a slight individual with little strength, so the few times I've run into the problem, getting it sticky side down wasn't the issue. Damage, OTOH, was the main concern.

There's that EXTREME Willy T I remember.

I dun ride much these days, but I still have my Honda CBR 929rr. Breaks every speed limit in the state in first gear.

You could star in a remake of "Rear Window..."

My 11th grade Novels teacher and I both approve of this....

This guy talks a lot of bullshit, but gives a good demo of the awesomeness of my built in tip-over protection.

Ever sell that z1k?

Nope. Want it?

Yeah but if I get a street bike it needs to be comfy for S to get on the back. I'm thinking Vstrom.

As long as she keeps her ass small it's plenty comfy

V-Stroms are really cool, though. It seems people like the smaller one more than the big one for some reason.

I'd go for the 1000. No reason not to. 650 with 2 people on the 70+mph highway @ 11,500 feet and going up would not be fun.
