Black Friday CB ride

I was lucky when I owned my Goldwing Aspencade. Both my wife and I are tall. At that time she only weighed about 100 pounds. So I could sit on the bike, push it off the center stand, and hold the front brake while she used the rear footpeg and my shoulder to slip in her cushy sofa.

Backing up on a parking lot slope with a heavy bike is another story. My foot slipped on some sand in a parking lot after Penny had mounted the Wing. I was able to slowly set the bike down, and Penny was nimble enough to slip off the seat before the bike touched down.

Fortunately the Aspencade came engine crash guards, so there was no damage done. They also keep the bike from laying flat. That and the low center of gravity of the Wing made it easy to push it back up on its wheels.
