Nah...I think it was a reaction to a fried spider on his Gentoo.Mean lookin' SOB ain't he....

:dribble: :dribble: I haven't weighed that little since I was about 11 years old!!I weigh about 125, 5'11" and can tell you its more technique then anything.
If you're only a buck-twenty-five, then technique is EVERYTHING!
BTW, I did a little experiment a few minutes ago to confirm something I already knew....
Those who practice placing a 2x4 under their rear wheel are doing it all wrong. You should place it under the FRONT wheel. Here's why...
When you roll the bike up on a 2x4 under the rear, sure, you're raising the bike 2 inches, and that's 2 fewer inches you have to get the pig off the ground when lifting on the c-stand, but at the same time, you're essentially trying to get the bike up going up hill, since the back is now higher than the front.
Roll the bike up on that 2x4 on your FRONT wheel...you still get (essentially) that 2 extra inches of lift, but now, with the front higher than the rear, when you pop the bike up on the c-stand, all the weight's going downhill, referencing front-to-back.
Try it. You'll see what I mean.
I got no stinking Gen2. Picked mine up in July 02.Nah...I think it was a reaction to a fried spider on his Gentoo.Mean lookin' SOB ain't he....

Believe it or not, my Anglo-friend, I don't agree with you, either. You must define what is "uphill" (or downhill for that matter).For once, RH, I don't agree with you :nono: .
Front or back on the wood, when the bike rolls, the wheels are rolling on a horizontal surface. Gravity is doing nothing for you, it ain't down hill. If you take the brake off, does it roll by itself?
Prefers doggie-style, does she????she's done that before for me. She does all sorts of things for me wubsmiley.gif . 'Cept go on the back.).
Nothing new there....Believe it or not, my Anglo-friend, I don't agree with you, either.
...
That's the problem, the weight on each wheel is exactly the same apart from the very slight shift in C of G....Now, tilt the ground to where the front axle is two inches higher than the rear axle. You are now pointing "uphill". Granted, not a very steep incline, but nevertheless, you have now shifted the weight of the motorcycle rearward by pointing the motorcycle "uphill".
Now, imagine the bike back on a perfectly level surface. Now, put a 2x4 under the front wheel. The front axle is now 2 inches higher from "level" than the rear wheel, is it not? So you have effectively pointed the bike slightly "uphill". The weight shift is now towards the rear, ...
Don't know what you might be referring to. I'm sure there were once fond memories, but they went to hazy recollections to "dunno what you're talking about" years ago :huh: ....

Oh, you wrote "on the back", not "on her back." My bad. :devil:
RadioHowie, what the hell are you doing up so late tonight? Hemorrhoids, sciatica or constipation? 2 out of 3 for me, this getting as old as Sacramento Mike is definitely not for sissy boys, is it Brother!!!Trying to "blind me with science" are ya?
(Glad Iggy's back and put this monstrosity of a thread where it belongs. :thumbsupsmiley: )
+1 Shoes can make you or break you.Another important note....don't try and do this shit when in your in your Reebocks or other soft soled shoes. You need to have a very sturdy sole for this to work well.
Actually trying to open your eyes with simple engineering. :blind: :umnik2: :chickawow: :graduated:Trying to "blind me with science" are ya?...
Yep....lots of fun! And Bustanut REALLY liked the slow gerbil!BTW, did you like your quick ferret in my site? (Ve haf vays unt meens ...)
mcatrophy, Your web site is so incredible and I really enjoyed it. I would love to have your skills in setting up a website like that of my M/C Adventures. Who knows, I am taking the Apple Store classes!!!Yep....lots of fun! And Bustanut REALLY liked the slow gerbil!BTW, did you like your quick ferret in my site? (Ve haf vays unt meens ...)
