How to Right a Dumped Valk
Oh, no!
My weakling husband has dropped his Valkyrie again!
What will we do? I guess I'll just have to right it for him!
First, I make sure
the kick stand is down so it won't tip over to the other side.
Next, I put it in
first or second gear so it won't roll away from me as I heave.
Now, I grab with
one hand under the fender rail, and the other on the hand grip.
The front wheel should be turned towards the down side of the bike.
With my bum against
the lower edge of the seat and my legs almost straight,
I lean back and walk it up in tiny steps.
There, it's almost
balanced!
I carefully ease it
over onto the kick stand.
If the bike started with the left side down, I would be extending the kick stand
now.
Tadahhh! Okay,
Hubby, you're ready to go!
