[QUOTE="firecracker22, post: 79295, member: 20316"] I realized a somewhat silly but very important goal yesterday evening. I LOADED MY BIKE ALL BY MYSELF INTO MY TRUCK!!!!!!! Steve (new beau :) ) offered to help me tune my bike and change my tires. Trouble is, he lives in Everett—about a hour north of me. I keep my bike in a storage unit near my apartments. I thought "Well, I’ll give it a try, and if I can’t get it, we’ll do it another time." I bought a folding ATV ramp—it’s wide enough to walk up next to the bike. I have a Toyota pickup; it is 4x4, but I have little teeny wimp tires on it so it’s not as tall as most 4x4 rigs. (A lift kit and larger tires, while they would look very cool, would A.) cost $$ I could spend on the bike and B.) make the bike that much harder to load.) I tried to push it up, with a decent running start, but the rungs on the ramp are too far apart and I slowed down because I didn’t want to slip and put my foot through a hole. So I backed up, fired up the bike, put it in first and slipped the clutch all the way up. Got it first try—didn’t even kill it on the ramp or anything! WOW!! I felt SO cool after that! Independence is important to me and knowing that I don’t need someone else there to get my bike in my truck. I am such a stud. ;) [/QUOTE]
