Title: need to pick up bike for a friend.
Post by: factorPlayer on June 03, 2008, 01:24:21 AM

So there is this Honda Shadow sitting in an apartment parking lot I need to go pick up for a friend.  it's been there for months and will probably be towed soon, there are already warning stickers on it...

Anyone have a ramp they could spare for one day? The bike is more or less a piece of shit so I wanna practice my ramp technique on it before trying w/ the duc for the first time.

I have a ramp you are welcome to.  I won't claim it's a good one - it is really heavy.  IIRC your apartment is really close to my office (Braker and Metric).  If you want, I'll throw it in the back of my truck on Thursday - you can drop by take a look to see if you want to grab it.

Hey Factor...I've got an extra wood ramp (primitive 2X12) that you can have...I built a work table for my bike and thought I'd lost my original to RipTearShred as he galavanted across country to get his S4R  (sorry Rich JK!)

it's about 8ft long and has metal tangs on front for attachment to my table...funky, but you can cut it up and build a dog house out of the wood when you're done....

PM if you want it...

Thanks guys but it looks like the bike got towed - no big deal for me but obviously won't be needing a ramp anytime soon.

that sucks, i was thinking that might happen since it already had the warnings on it...
