Thread: How to move a motorbike backwards up a slope...

I can pick it up no problems. I just put it in gear, put it on full lock, and lift from the outside handgrip. It walks up no problems. Hop on and have another go.

The sand was deep and soft and powdery, with deep ruts from 4WDs going through. I tried sticking to the ruts. As soon as you get any left or right lock on it, and you deviate from the ruts, it ploughs, and over you go

Doesn't hurt or anything, and no damage to the bike, so ended up doing a lot of "paddling" with my legs & got through to the harder stuff which was nice to ride on.

Excellent fun

Quite a recipe for disaster but once practiced and mastered you wont have the problem again.

I'm picturing his driveway into the garage and his bike parked next to his missus' Barina and she going orbital when he smokes up the carport and misses her car by a couple of mm. Smoke billowing, tyre and wife screaming. He could sell tickets.

Ahh love the Adventurer, I rode my Father in laws to and from Phillip island last year, very comfortable for long rides. Wish I owned it!! Definitely not an easy bike to turn around though.
