MOTM - May '16
My driveway goes uphill... and the most optimal way to park my bike in the garage is with her nose facing outward. (The garage is shared with a Prius, and the fact that I have a sloping wall to park along means that it's safer to park with the handlebars in the wider part of the parking spot, so there's more room between them and a car door that might suddenly hit them.)

Backing 380-some pounds of Ninja up a hill when you're 5'3" and weigh 130 pounds... is intimidating.

I might just end up parking on the sidewalk, backing the Prius out so I can go forward up the hill and turn around in the garage (there's not enough space to turn a full 360 in there otherwise), then re-parking the Prius once the bike's parked. (It's not my Prius, but I'm licensed to drive it.)

On the flip side, I'm getting really muscular calves.
