So...MLW wants tacos for lunch. Don't make a fuss dear, I'll just move the Scram and take the Suburban up to the Taco Bell for food!! I drive the Scram up into the garage like I always do, turn off the key, turn off the fuel, and lean the mother over... right into my '29 A roadsterr! handlebars down into the headers, mirror looking like a pretzel. Forgot to put down the sidestand. My first thought was "I can't believe I just did that, then my second was to look around to make sure my neighbor wasn't watching, she would never let me live it down.
Now, the issue is that the bike is lying against the car in such a way that I can't get between it and the car to pick it up on that side, and it's over at enough of an angle that I can't muscle it up from the outside. This mother is heavy!! MLW is an invalid, so I'm on my own with this one.
Can't seem to budge it.
That's when I realize that the bike is lying on the little "scrub tit" underneath the fotpeg. So I slide the bike out a bit, after removing the handlebar from the header on the hot rod, sliding on the front tire sidewall, and the footpeg. I get it out far enough I can straddle the bike and finally ooff the bike upright.
Put down the sidestand this time !!
I got lucky, one tiny hickey on the side of the gas tank, made invisible with rubbing compound. I'm still blushing. ick:
