The 'loading your motorcycle into the van' discussion reminds me of when I transported my old Honda back home from college. It fired right up after sitting in snow all winter. I pulled around and lined up with the ramp on my U-Haul, gunned it, and rolled up the ramp and into the truck. What I failed to check were the brakes, which were stuck, and I flew straight into the back wall of the truck. Wham! Fortunately, I didn't flatten my face on that one, but I did hit hard enough to lift up the back wheel. Yikes. So, I gave the bike to my little brother. Let him fix it.
