Great thread and Insolentsquid you sure can write well .
But I just have to throw one of my falls in.
By the time we had moved our store 3 times we had moved into
a building where we could sell bikes. I tried to sell a lot consignment
bikes to start. We had very nice Honda XR50 for sale and a customer
wanted to hear it run. I pushed it out side with customer in tow on
to the cement right in front the door. I kicked the little thing a couple
of times and then just as it caught I sort of slipped and I had my
hand on the throttle so the darn bike jump forward and I did not
let go - Yes it pulled me right down - face down on the cement .
Glad they didn't have smart phones back then
