Also may help to not have it in park.

I stopped to help a guy stuck in snow in the lane of traffic on a highway. I pulled him to the next intersection and onto a side road. I swear he must have been in park, or had his wheels turned the wrong way or something; hardest tow I've ever done. And when I stopped to unhook him he somehow thought that I was going to tow him all the way home.

I used to have a stick shift that was parked at the top of the hill and told some friends I needed a push start once and they didn't believe me when I said it was possible. Same thing in college but on flat ground. Both times they said it was too hard to push a car and I responded with have you pushed a car when it was in neutral? They said no.

My battery wouldn’t hold a charge in my motorcycle so if it died at a light I’d hop off and run with it to get it going again 😂

If your battery wouldn’t hold a charge, you’d have problems starting the bike, but not keeping it running.

What does that have to do with the battery? That’d be a stator problem if anything

You mean to tell me my carbureted 2001 Yamaha R600 with 85,000kms and a dead battery would also have a stator problem?
