- From: mbeaving@bnr.ca (The Beav Beavington):
-
- In an effort to prevent the crunching of knuckles in -15C temperatures,
- I have decided to move the motorcycle into the basement for the rebuild.
- I have removed the gas tank, rear tail light assembly, carbs, seat,
- mirrors, etc.. so that the most I have left is the wheels, engine block
- and handlebars. Being a V65 Sabre, it still weighs around 300 pounds.
- Has anybody had a successful experience with negotiating a set of
- stairs (7 1/4" rise, 10" run)?
-
- Me:
- Haven't tried this on a bike I couldn't ride. How wide is the
- staircase?
-
- The Beav:
- By the way, the wife is off on a business project for a couple
- of months so this will just be our little secret.
-
- Mike Beavington mbeaving@bnr.ca

- Me:
- Don't count on it. Moving a bike up and down stairs, and doing
- a rebuild without leaving clear marks will be an interesting
- proposition. The cleanup alone...
