Step One - Load the trailer

'I wonder what kind of brain it takes to think you can drive an 800 pound motorcycle into a very small space.  If that isn't crazy enough, then drive another motorcycle into the same small space with your leg scraping the wall and the motorcycle mirrors almost kissing each other.  It took a few hours and about 180 years of combined life experience to load 4 bikes and tie them down.  These men have the engineering minds and the desire to do what humans have been doing for ages.  Have an adventure.
 Bike number one, Scott's Beamer.
 Bike number two, the Hog.  This rider was smart and got valet parking.
 Bike number three, Danny's Beamer.  Don't let the picture fool you, Danny rode it up and Scott steadied the bike while Danny tied it down.

The adventure today was getting that fourth bike, up the ramp and snuggled next to the other three.  It was one of those moments where I had to close my eyes.

There was no hesitation.  Bill just rode it up the ramp.  Several packing blankets, towels and lots of tie downs, we were ready for the ceremonial decorating of the trailer.  The first decals for the first trip!  Wyoming, here we come!  Lovin' Life behind bars!
