My friend bought a harley in his fifties, he's not a big chap.When he pulled into his local service station for some petrol for his new purchase he had the helmet and the three hundred pound leather jacket that says harley davidson on the back.Unfortunatley, what he did not have was the leg strenght to support his bike once it was stationary and it keeled over with him sitting on it becuase he had had no idea how heavy it was.
So, like getting off a moped and onto a harley was probably not the best of analogies for a supalite, but that's not to say that crawling per se is a bad strategy and has obviously stood you in good stead thus far.
