It's a pick ax! Discovered the flat blade works great for sliding under the rear tire when removing or replacing the wheel to help make that fine adjustment to alignment to get the axle out and in easier.

Good call John. Also good for removing recalcitrant exhaust systems.

I'll bet you were a farmer.

I have a ceiling mounted patient lift in my garage. I wasn't a farmer

I looked in the tool kit and there wasn’t one in there. Maybe someone cobbed it.

The KISS method.

Thanks John.

probably better than using my left foot. Bigger hammer always a good solution.

Gliderjohn · « **Reply #14 on:** April 03, 2023, 11:20:35 AM »

I usually have used the foot method but the older one gets the less one's feet like it.

Well, this makes perfect sense. People always say Guzzis have an “agricultural” feel.

John, you might try piling 100 pounds of horse manure next to your bike. Might give your engine some more pep and horsepower over time.

Just give it a stinky exhaust. There are enough chipped diesel trucks around here for that. Of course if you get a bad green chili burger you won't need the horse.
