Default I'd like to thank my wife.................

.......for giving me the chance to try lifting my ride up off the ground!

There I was waitin' for her to come out, right in front of the door to the local HD shop. I'm sitting on my idling scoot, she decides to hop on without letting me know. It was like a train wreck in slo-motion. Down we went to port! I immediately shut her off and did the grip, squat, grunt and lift trick and up she went just like in the DVD! First time I dropped my ride in 35 years!

Thanks to the bros sitting on the benches in front of the store that came to my rescue!

Thanks hon you allowed me the chance to try a valuable technique tonight and am all the wiser for it!!

Damn..... now it's officially broke in!

Thats funny and I would laugh but than I would get bad carma, and than it would happen to me. I am still holding off the inevitiable, I just hope when I do it that the family CEO isant with me and its not in front of a crowd.

It HAS happened to me. I feel your pain. In fact, it has happened to many.

Gotta love the bag and engine guards! Sorry that happened, but sounds like you have a good sense of humor about it.
