My driveway hates me

Yes, my driveway hates me. Either that or Bluebird doesn't like going home. I pulled the same trick darph_bobo did a month or so ago and dumped the bike in the road. No real damage to me; my brain was actually working at the time surprisingly. Basically I felt the bike start to go and took a step away from it as it fell.

Someone taught me a long time ago (mostly 'cause I was curious about what he did when he laid his GoldWing over) what to do with a heavy motorcycle. If you can get it to start (or if it's still running), get it so the wheels are touching, steer the front "into" the ground, rev it, and veeeery carefully let out the clutch; once the rear starts turning, it'll drive the bike upright again. It's apparently a delicate operation; too much throttle or too fast on the clutch, and the bike'll just rear up, then fall over on the OTHER side :-).
