Can't because one finger is up my butt and the other is in the drain plug.

Huh..I hear ya, I haven't had to have mine changed yet either. So when you made the first 1/4 mile trip were you scared to pick your feet up the first time?
I rev mine up and put it in gear but haven't had the nerve to pick up both feet yet so I haven't left the garage. Luckily I have a riding mower so all my riding gear gets used regularly, well almost all, I never wear my full face helmet on the mower, seems like overkill, I just wear the skull cap.

I pull one of my Glocks out from my double rig shoulder holster and wave it at them. I'm just badass like that. Unless they are on a scooter under 100cc, then I fire off a couple of shots..Thats how real bikers handle a situation.

First I thought this was just going to be a very eye opening thread on oil changing etiquette but it is really turning into something much more informative. Until today I wasn't sure what those flat things by shifter were for, I never realized I was supposed to pick my feet up! Is this something you do for an extended period of time, say 10 seconds or maybe even more? It seems so scary to me! Really all I got my bike for was to wash it in the driveway at least twice a week while listening to a Motley Crew/Poison mix tape I made back in 85. I will occasionally go out and rev the engine really loud in the garage but it always seems to make me so dizzy after awhile with the doors closed. I think I might be doing it wrong.
