  LOL !..... NOOOOOO.  You know how I do it Cuz.   VINES !   I scamper up to the ceiling joists and tie them off. Then I Heeeeeeeve and hoist the bike up with that hand like oppose-able thumb I have on my foot.... Which leaves my two human like hands free to wrench with...you know?   It can however become  a real PIA if I forgot something, and I have to go over to the tool box!  Then I have to do that whole leg/hand like foot hoist thing again !  I'm liking the Bush Idea more and more now that I think about it !

Hopefully, it means that something will actually happen with the brand in the USA. The stagnation is appalling for well over 15 years of the same management. Perhaps there will even be technical support ...... Who knew?
A RE in every garage.
That would be similar to H-D. Would loose some appeal .
Maybe I should stay ahead of the pack and ride a Chinese made Dneper. ;)

In business, it's not about "appeal" - it's about sales. That is the FACT of the dirty underbelly of the motorcycle - or ANY business. In the USA, it doesn't matter what you have for sale - it's how you sell it. If Ron Popeil can get rich selling silly string for the back of your balding head, surely a world famous motorcycle can fly off the shelf in tens of thousands. Kymco does it - why not RE??

As far as getting of the pack on a ComBloc bike goes - you better put a JATO bottle on it ........  ;)
