Stuck Benly

I was just rearranging the garage to make room for the latest
addition, due in a couple of hours.

The garage has free standing wooden shelving (the four posts with
shelves between sort) down the left hand side and kit car and bikes on
the right. The rear fifth is separated by an internal wooden wall with
a door which opens onto the left wall in the only space that doesn't
have shelving. So you've got to go in at a slight angle past the
shelves and then straighten up to go through and then hopefully turn
right into the space prepared for the Benly and old ZXR to be worked
on.

After getting the rear left indicator stuck on my shelving (which
rocked alarmingly but didn't fall over) I've now managed to jam it
half way through the door into the back bit. It's caught on the back
brake pedal - so the foot rest definitely will not fit through. I
can't go backwards because the rack is up against the shelving I just
inched it past. I've tried lifting the back wheel and edging it
sideways but the handlebars are tounching the wall of the back bit on
the left.

Now what do I do?

 

Obviously....
Get a man in

 

a) stare at the bike, say "and you reckon that's 6 inches" and see if
it shrinks

b) empty and move the shelving

 

Paging Dirk Gently.

 

It's looking that way. Oh bother and balls. Anyway, it's stuck there,
the ZXR is just behind and to the right where it was, so there's space
and that's the main thing.

Place bets now to how long it stays stuck for...

 

Angle Grinder.

 

Spray it with lots of PlusGas, then heat the garage with a blowtorch to
make it expand.

I did check to see if someone had appeared through the wall

 

Dismantle, then throw entire POS into skip piecemeal.

Repeat exercise with POS ZXR4000.

Result: Nice tidy garage, more room for stuff.

Reinstallation is the reverse order of removal.

Pffft. It'd be a barge-like sports tourer, just like all big Kwaks.

 

Ooo, what kit car you got there LN?

 

Nige it out.

Maybe Dirk Diggler would be a better choice
