HI Hobie,very good info on picking up bike,
Hey bikerfred :stumped: What about my info :stumped:
Your info URL didn't work here, just got the HTML source code.
Bikerfred, if you have to right your trike it's going to be a lot harder.
As for the butt first information I've had the opportunity to test it out on both the 1200 and 1500. It works well. Someday I will look where I put my foot down and then I can quit practicing the maneuver. I've tried the 'oil on the ground' thing, the 'sand and gravel' thing and the 'kickstand sank into the asphalt thing'. Not to mention the 'drive it into the garage and kick down the stand while getting off, I'm so cool while I watch the stand fold back in' thing too. All this and I've only put 20,000 miles on a Wing so far. Oh well, so far the the only damage has been a couple small scratches on the outboard bottom of the mirrors. Yeah had to try both directions, dropping it to the right is better, you have the safety of the kick stand to catch it. I haven't managed to dump it to the right while lifting it up from a left drop yet.
:whip:But with my luck I probably will.:whip:
