Nice story. Looking forward to seeing your fuel log progression.

As for pushing - that's fair game. Hey, I rolled my car about 30 feet out of a parking spot this morning (opened my door & pushed with my foot to get it rolling - was already on a very slight grade).

Is 300 lbs really that heavy for a small bike? My Ninja 250 was 305 lbs dry weight, if I recall.
