So glad you managed to get it upright.. Ge...Yikes. So glad you managed to get it upright.. Genius using the jack. They say necessity is the mother of invention.<br /><br />I dropped my Gladius on an uphill partly dirt road once. Rookie mistake doing a u-turn and put the foot down on the low side. Hubby couldn't help as he'd just had hernia surgery. I managed to do it, but my bike was sub 450lbs.<br /><br />When at the Vancouver motorcycle show a few years ago we saw a demonstration of a different take on the handlebar thing and the guy used the handlebar as leverage instead of walking backwards. Made it look easy, but then I am sure he'd done it dozens of times demonstrating it. I'll have to look it up again..... you know just in case.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2742182387555035595.post-76153423365006597472017-05-09T06:10:23.513-05:002017-05-09T06:10:23.513-05:00LOL, yes you got that right!

What doesn't ...Sorry to see that this happened. What doesn't nearly break your back will only make you stronger. We have all been there at some point. Mine was with a Yamaha Virago aptly named Baby many moons ago. Glad you are ok. Take care.Mario RJ Corbinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17083873832137322688noreply@blogger.com
