I'd heard that about the Japanese test too Steelman, makes sense, is it true? Any Japanese bikers on the org?
![]() I can't even pick my little SV up now, I have a dodgy back, partly from having to lift my XS850 a few times 25 years ago, god knows what I'd do if I dropped the SV somewhere remote! |

The next time i see a female biker in distress(or a midget for that matter), i will be sure to pull over, advise them of the correct technique and proceed to wheelie off into the sunset

how I wheel my bike around depends on what kind of surface and slope
but first an formost always walk it fronm the left side on flat hard surface, I just grab handlebars and walk beside it if I am doing tight manuvering, I walk it with my left hand on the left grip and right hand on the grab bar that way I can pick the rear off the ground with the grab bar if necessary to pivot the bike on the front wheel soft surface like sand, or more often, snow or hard surface that is bumpy or rutted I walk beside it with the engine running & in gear slipping clutch with left hand and covering brake & throttle with right hand, sometimes after a winter ride, I have to push and spin the rear wheel to get back into my steep icy/snow filled driveway ![]() |

Actually had a fun situation today which led me to realise that there is a brake on the left side.
See I had to park facing downhill, in a tight space that I couldnt get into while on the bike. So I chucked it in 1st - cos with the clutch out thats a "going nowhere" brake. Clutch in to move backwards - oops I need to adjust my body position, clutch out , bike not going anywhere. I will point out that the engine was OFF at this point So another technique to add to the list. David |
