As most of you know I have to sell my beloved CB due to health reasons.
My main issue is constant trembling/shaking and I am not very steady on my feet.
Yesterday I needed to change the oil, clean/lube/adjust the chain, and give her a bath. I was scared as you-know-what to roll her up on the lift table, let alone pull her up on the centerstand on the table.
In the past, I would put my left foot on the edge of the table, then very quickly put my right foot on the stand and lift her up. I was far from comfortable doing it that way yesterday.
SO, I figured out that I could keep my left foot planted firmly on the garage floor, put my right foot on the centerstand and instead of lifting using the hand rail, I lifted it using the foot peg bracket. I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was!! For the first time in quite a while, I enjoyed my time with the 1100. I was able to accomplish everything I wanted to do....except go for a ride.
At least now I feel like I made a useful contribution to this great forum.
