How do you get a TLA from a single word?
Surely you're TTP
Looks to me like that would be a bit hard on the old back. I've used a similar technique with back to bike to awaken the CB1300 (~260kg) from a nap. Didn't help me with the ST1300 (~330kg), but then I had a sore back at the time.
I wonder if the handlebar method is any better under those conditions?
Both methods have issues in less than ideal situations. It's just a case of finding the one that works best if you are by yourself and knowing how to lift without destroying your back. If there are others around you just have to wait till the laughter and comments stop then usually you will get assistance anyway.
