Maybe they can stuff it down in a prothstetic leg they lost protecting your dumb a$$ just so you could be snippy on the internet. And after they got their bike backed out, the extra mass in that leg would be better to bash the back of your head in...........just sayin.

No more kickstarters, so lets have a reverse gear. I can't back the bagger into the garage. Just a small rise in concrete, can't do it. Backing in gravel? Sure.

It's not very nice implying that those of us contemplating a reverse are "stupid" maybe you already got there without realizing it!

Maybe we all lack that "little sense" that you got!
