About twenty years ago, I moved my daughter into her first off-campus apartment near Elon, NC. I spent the day as you did assembling flat-packed desks, dressers, and a bed. I had rented a U-Haul truck to bring her things down from Virginia, and decided there was room for my ‘80 CB750F. I picked the bike up from the shop where I left it for some tuning, and had the guys there help me roll it up the ramp.
After unloading all my daughter’s stuff, I spent the rest of the day and night exploring the back roads on the Honda, but when it came time to leave, there was no one to help me get the bike back into the truck. It was just me and my daughter. I figured the ride up the narrow ramp would be safer if I had a little speed, but then what? I hit the rear brake hard as soon as the back wheel was off the ramp, and it tucked under into a skid. I wasn’t going that fast, and the bike swung around ninty degrees and came to a neat stop parallel and two feet from the front wall.
It was all done so quick, that my daughter was too astonished for words. It was like some type of circus trick. Although I didn’t let it show, I was more astonished than she was, as I had no idea how I did it, and could never do it again.

That's when you feign disgust and grumble that you left it half a foot short.

I wish everyone a good 3. Advent tomorrow.
Keep the flame in your hearts alive in strange times like this tree shining in the dark of winter. And don't forget, go out for a ride!

Sunny day today and an opportunity to take the CB up into the Wicklow Mountains. Cool enough but the heated vest made it comfortable.
RE: Let's see your CB1100 out on the road! - Wisedrum - 12-12-2020
You are living on a nice island. I did one and half year ago a trip around Ireland following the coastline, the Wild Atlantic Route.
We have CBs out of different series but mounted the same accessoires on the CBs. Engine crash guards and saddlebag distance holders of the same brand, Fehling. I find them useful as you surely do too.
Rode without a heated vest but with a few layers of clothes. Only the hands became a little cold in the gloves after and because I rolled here and there a cigarette while taking a rest. Nevertheless it was a fine ride. Hope your ride too. The CB never disappoints me.
