How on earth did you manage to do that?  When I removed my rear wheel with
the bike on the centre stand I had no such problems.  I just pushed the
wheel forward slightly to release the chain, before pulling the rim clear of
the swingarm.  Good job your wife was in shouting distance.  If this had
happened to me I would have been in big trouble because my garage is a good
50 metres from my apartment and with the door shut and Ricky Martin going
full belt the missus wouldn't have a cat in hells chance of hearing my
screams!
