Dismantling the bike.

It took many hours work over a couple of days to slowly dismantle the bike. We had some home-built wooden ramps and stands which made the task of getting the 100+ kilogram machine inside the car a little easier. The rear seat of the car had been removed and left back in Melbourne. One feature of an AU Falcon's rear doors is that they don't open very wide and so one door had to be removed. The partly-dismantled bike was loaded into the back of the car, then the front wheel and forks removed and finally the rear wheel removed. It was a tight fit lengthwise with only 150cm of space available between the rear car doors.
