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.
