A bunch of places I go are dirt and a couple of times I had trouble backing my bike up.
I hate asking someone to pull me backwards!!!!!!!!!!

I have tried a bunch of stuff just to see if it works and most of the time it doesn't!!!

I have high hopes for the Baker though.
The cost is making me think though.

I have several projects to finish before I can do it.

Wait. No more duck paddling backwards into a parking spot? I remember 20 some years ago watching a short rider on a gold wing pull up to a parking spot to back in, I was thinking this might get ugly but no, he puts it in reverse and slick as **** parks between two cars.
This could be pretty cool for bigger bikes. I think trikes and sidecar rigs would do good with this.

Is it a drop in gear set or a whole transmission or is it just a reverse to add to what is already there?

Funny last week went for a ride in the mtns with 4 others. We parked on a slope and I was the only one that backed in to the curb so I could pull straight up the hill. Everyone else needed help backing up.
