Walking a motorcycle home?
So I'm buying this bike on craigslist and it doesn't ride and I have no trailor or truck to get it home. Its about a mile walk from the sellers house, is it legal to walk it home and is there some secret method other than putting it in nuteral and pushing it. It's a 1986 Honda rebel 250 if that helps.
A mile is not too bad, but make sure that the brakes function properly - obviously you will struggle if they are seized, but you will also need them while pushing it. Lean into the bike and drive from your legs, try to keep it going, overcoming inertia from a stop will drain you quickly. Walking it home shouldnt be a problem, just not on the road in the car lane sure you can walk it home… IF… You have a clear title from the previous owner, signed over to you The logical thing would be to ride it home. You will have a bill of sale to show your just taking it from point of sale to your house one mile away. I doubt you'd get in trouble with sale papers that are dated and signed. Put it in neutral and push it. It will be very helpful if the tires have full pressure in them.
If you can legally walk along the roads you intend to push the bike, it should be legal to push the bike. Funny regulation here. Illegal for you to push it along the footpath & illegal for you to walk on the roadway if there's a footpath.
ie no footpath no problem BUT if there's a footpath in theory you are required (officially) to walk along the path wheeling the bike along the roadway. (& who says law makers are idiots)

- What's the home button on the roof of my car? My car is Honda 2001 EX, I saw a button which is "home icon" on the roof, but I had no idea what's it for, when I pressed it, the red light blinked once and nothing happened.
- You say do I need to keep the Bell helmet the renter wore when he slipped, and crashed my motorcycle? My motorcycle is the 2008? Honda CBR600RR super sport motorcycle. The Cofounder of Riders- Share.Com compensated me the full amount of the motorcycle repairer's written damage estimate. I was also fully compensated for the helmet, which the renter wore when he crashed my motorcycle and my helmet.
- Motorcycle no lights/start after wash? I have a 1981 Honda custom 500. Sprayed it at the car wash got it home, no lights and completely dead, won't turn over, charged battery and still nothing. Possibly bad regulator?
- I've just turned 18 today and i'm gonna be getting a motorcycle what motorcycle would suit me? I'm only 90-95 pounds and I'm short what would be a good light weight cruiser around 250-300 pounds like my Honda Twinstar 185? I can't balance anything too big as i'm small, I need something that's lightweight, preferably Harley, but any work for me a bikes a bike, Thank you in advance! Note: My Honda Twinstar does not run my father had that bike since I was 7 or 8 and gave it to me when I was 9 but it sat out so long it doesn't work.
