750# is dry weight, depending on trim. Shouldn’t ride a bike you can’t pick up. Anything on 2 wheels is gonna tip over.

Morning Eric
I was told there are 2 kinds of bikers
Ones that have been down and ones that are going down [emoji33]

It's still pickable, just a pain. The aspect I looked at is I'm a few inches taller IIRC than Kyle. Gives me a leverage advantage. Superglide is sweet w/6 speed baker, cam & head work. Leans further than the softail ever did. Just more my style.

If I recall my 81 Wing is 710lbs. My 87 is 720ish?
The trick is to be aware.

A recommendation I've heard is to lay the bike down on a softened surface to protect the shiny parts. From that position a person learns how to get the bike on the rubber side down.
Always wisper in the air cleaner, " let's keep the rubber side down and the shiny side up !"
Dumb scooter might forget otherwise.
Cars are even dumber- can't tell em nothing bout right side up that why they gotta have 4 tires- balance ain't their Forte

Making progress on the Solo.

Got the wire in the magneto soldered by my friend Ted. [emoji108] He is some five or eight years younger and an electrician and had the proper solder and iron. And, he can see better. [emoji6]

Had difficulty with the tiny ass flywheel key. Fingers were just too fat to get it in the slot (2mm woodruff).

Glued to one jaw of my pliers. Position & squeeze. Done!

They had to...

The runners ain’t getting it done...

Imagine that poor New Zealand guys situation..

Go to the Olympics and throw a 22.3 meter bomb...

Just to get curb stomped by 2 Americans... lol

They’re just on a whole other level.

2 Olympics ago, 22 meters flat would assure you a gold and at worst, silver. With Ryan Crouser around, you need to throw 23 meters just to be in the hunt!!

Solo:
A brick chit house built with random size brick and each one goes in a specific location. [emoji2959]

And, we have no spark. [emoji3525]

In all fairness I think our solder job is shorted out on the sheet metal points cover. [emoji848]

Morning everybody.

Solo solder job is OK.

Coil secondary checks open circuit and condenser is shorted.

Bosch! Crap!

Diving is gay. Why can’t they televise wrestling or judo? Badminton or ping pong would be better than this weak crap…

Table tennis, it’s called table tennis Thomas. I agree that is a lot better to watch than diving. Those paddle wielding fiends are insane. How about badminton would you watch that? That’s pretty wild also. The worst Olympic sport is/was ballroom dancing…
