What, no old school mechanik types here? 1: bike on rear stand 2: start bike 3: bike in gear (3rd if yer not a pussy) 4: get old Molly Hatchet shirt wet with wd40 or some shit 5: put rag on moving rim 6: fish rag out of sprocket to use as a tourniquet 6: holler at the ol lady to warm up the truck and take you to the hospital
