    Did that happen when you were there or when she was alone? I have tipped a bike once on a trailer, it makes you sick. I hope she is not too damaged and that some ratchet straps are now in use. Sorry she fell.

    While inverting the motorcycle is a recommended technique for undercutting the first gear dogs without removing the engine, that is not the recommended technique for inverting the motorcycle.

    It just couldn't take it anymore and jumped. Wish I could rescue it, I need one exactly like that to revive mine.

    They found a note that read:
    "I cannot abide the shame and humiliation of these pods. Oh, the flat spots, I'm tired of the tuning. But they look so cool... Regardless, I refuse to go on. Tell my scooter that I love her."

    I can only home the rider was wearing the appropriate gear when it happened.
