Re: An easy way to pick up a fallen motorcycle

Wonder if she could do that with a fully laden bagger?

Yup I reckon anyone that has a good back and a good grip to their feet can lift like that BUT must remember to put bike into 1st gear before attempting it.

Re: An easy way to pick up a fallen motorcycle

I remember being shown how to pick up a dresser back when I had my shovelhead. The idea was to push the upper bar fully back, then get hold of the bottom bar and pull forwards, and the bike rolls up onto its wheels. You don't lift it at all.

If you aren't quick enough, it rolls straight over and falls on the other side......

There used to be a video of this technique being used on a bagger or something similar. No idea where I saw it but have definitely seen it somewhere.
