FOAK - Lifting a motorbike

Hello font of all knowledge,

Some local scrote decided to try and nick my motorbike from my back
garden last night. First I knew of it was when the thing hit the deck
as the alarm sounded and said scrote legged it out of the garden.

I did have a go at lifting it last night/early this morning with all
the adrenalin running, then again before work this morning, and again
now when I have returned - all to no avail.

If I carry on trying with the current method I am likely to pop
something and I dont think that would be too pretty.

The bike is a Thundercat (incase the sig sep thing isnt working) and I
am a tall bird with apparently no muscles whatsoever.

In the past I would get the hubby person to lift it, however the
hubby person became an ex-hubby person at the beginning of the year
[1]

Apart from me moving to a less pikey area than Pitsea has anyone got
any sensible suggestions on how to get this bike shifted upwards
before tonight as I want to hide with a baseball bat and get the
wanker when/if he turns up again tonight

Ta very much

[1] This space does not need filling btw. I am about to turn into a
mad cat woman instead.

Aha. I'm currently trying to lift by the handlebars only, no wonder
thats a bit awkward.

I'll give the other way a go, and then head off to plan B.

Thank you

 

shows you

Auvache is probably dousing himself in Old Spice in excitement

 

There is a school of thought that suggests that you should lift it
with your back to it - it's been discussed here before but I have no
Google mojo.

I doubt it - he knows me of old, and I can run alot faster than he

Eee, it's all up and down with you recently, chuck.

 

Easy - bum against tank, squatting. Grab lower bar end, find purchase
for other hand under frame - stand up.

Do not follow through in any way, shape or form as this way lies
ridicule and self-loathing.

 

Now, why did I read that as "Old Spice and excrement"?

Good girl!

 

2 ways:

Yes, it´s in spanish, but the pics are very clear.
I particularly like (and sadly use) the 2nd way.

 

Looks good. But as Monkey says, put the bike in first gear.

Go on, my son! Gerrin there.

And they say chivalry is dead.

 

Two points.

Has Auvache got a T'cat?
Can you really run faster than one?

Err, third point.
Buy a working sig sep - only ten bob a dozen, I'll nip round, being a
fiendly neighbour type and fit you up.

 

And do not, whatever mad urge takes you, attempt to stop the bike
falling over by grasping the bar grip only.

Miaow.
