    Hey now... lol.. that was a innocent fail at least.

    At the shop we had a customer new to riding pick up his dirt bike and proceed to load it onto his sideways bike lift, the type mounted on the hitch. We asked if he wanted help several times but he inisisted on no help so he could "learn." Working back in the shop we hear a engine rev up and look out the door just in time to see a lonely TTR flying past the door with no human in sight. I ran out just in time to see the bike luckily take a turn leading into a downward spiral onto the assphalt just barely missing three parked cars. He said he tryed to "walk" the bike up on to the stand by using the motor. Felt bad for the poor guy, we straightened and welded his broken lever and sent him on his way. An innocent fail for sure. But I'm sure he learned.

    break.com's blocked but I'm guessing it's the guy falling off the loading ramp?

    The question that I (and many others) have asked... With that many people standing around, why didn't they just push the damn thing up into the truck?
    Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
    Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
    Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.
