Message: [QUOTE="Tinkrides, post: 838109, member: 56334"] Hi y'all... Well, a week or so ago I said I'd be loading my RM 100 for the first time by myself, with the hopes that friends would spot me. Well, as usual, I can depend on no one but myself and had to go it alone. :yikes: And I did it - sort of. I couldn't push the bike up (too much of a wussy, I guess), so I started it and tried it in first gear. Well, let me stress again how new I am at riding, so my ability to even control first gear standing next to it was a little awkward - plus trying to keep steady on a 2x4... After about 3 tries making it 1/2-way up, I just went for it and.... well, let me put it this way, the bike made it into the back of the truck, but not upright... Yes, I dumped it - BUT, it was in the back of the truck! I shut off the engine and huffed and puffed and pulled the bike up! WOO HOO. Then, it took me another 45 minutes to figure out the best angle and tie downs, etc. to make sure the bike was stable in the back and I could close the tailgate.... I was exhausted, sweaty, and dirty by the end, but I suppose it was worth it - I'll get to ride tomorrow! Unloading should be a whole 'nother adventure, and then I'll have to try to load it after riding all day... I may bat my eyelashes and ask a nice boy to help me... ;) I want to say thanks again to all the ladies on this site who gave me tips and encouragement. I'm sure it will get easier as I keep doing it... I hope. :cool: [/QUOTE]
