My 400 lb BMW-G310-GS fell over in the stone driveway today. First drop in over 25 years. The bike was beyond laying horizontaly flat. No way to get under any part of it. Took me 3 hrs to get it back up, and this was under the most ideal circumstances. I'll be looking to downsize immediately. Not worth that much of a risk at my age.

I never thought it would happen to me. I was wrong. Now I'm alone and need some pointers on how tol get it back upright. The kickstand gave out I guess. I came outside only told see it on its side.

I just got a Kawasaki concourse 14. Used, the garage it was in was packed with other MCs and scooters, trying to maneuver she laid down slow…. The guy I bought it from was useless due to a knee injury. Using the “Harley” technique I got it up solo. I’m 5’5 and 60yr female. I’m fairly active though…💪🏼💪🏼

Paul, I have 2 Road Glides and it happened to me in a slow turn twice (highly embarrassing). FIrst-time some walked right in front of my bike in a turn and I hit brake. I tried the Harley technique and it didn't work for me. I believe Harley says to put your seat in the saddle and use your legs in small steps to right the bike. God bless, thank you for video

Another thing to keep in mind: "It's ALL in the Head". Specifically: There's NO need to feel 'embarrassed' or like "everybody saw what happened & thinks I'm a Noob"...because what's done is DONE. Clear your head, don't worry about whatever anyone-else is thinking. Even if anybody IS watching you, the MAIn-priority (assuming no-one nearby is gushing-blood ?) is getting your bike upright, and on it's center or side-stand again. If nobody is offering to help you, screw 'em. They can think whatever they like...FOCUS on the BIKE.

Good idea. I noticed once you brought the bike back to the jiffy stand after the HD technique the highway peg was back at the jack height. Therefore you should be able to straddle the bike stand it up as if it was on the jiffy stand with the jack fully extended. This would be a more controlled lift instead of standing on one leg holding the bike weight kicking at the jiffy stand with your heal. Just a thought. Good video!

Thank you sir, that was the tip I needed. Set my Ultra down on gravel, and no technique was working to get it up. Finally strained my back, gave up and waited for help. Not just embarrassing, but very annoying time wise. That little jack is going in the tour pac straight away, and I will likely do the same mod to make it more secure. Thanks again.

Nicely done but it doesn't help me. I'm 78 and just bought a Royal Enfield 650 twin. It weighs 217 kg . I've dropped it twice, once at a servo and yesterday after a long ride. in the driveway when I got home put the side down and didn't realize it wasn't down correctly, both times I have had to get someone to help me lift it. I have front crash bars but the bike lays perfectly horizontal to the ground with both wheels off the ground as well, so it's a straight lift. Where I went to was out to my old block, way out of town and no one around. If it had happened out there I would have been sunk.

I saw a KZbin video of a woman who weighed no more than 115 lbs pick up her bagger. She used the harley method you showed. I have since learned, to grab the gas tank with my right hand instead of the handlebar grip.

When the wheels quit turning no matter the speed it's going down, you here people say I had to lay it down when the car pulled out in front of me when you hit the breaks hard your not going to keep the bike upright. Break hard enough to lock the wheels up your going down real quick.

I managed to lift my CVO Electraglide quite easily with the Harley technique, but I'm young and quite a large guy. This is a great idea for riders who can't lift their machine for any physical reason. The problem is if the bike pins you to the ground.
@charlesfoster1412 жыл бұрын
Very nice presentation/demonstration! Once you had the big bike jacked up it may have been safest to straddle the bike to get it vertical so that it could not fall over to the right. I presently have a BMW R1150GS that is too tall for me. I am bound to drop it eventually at a stop or turn around. I am trying to sell it before that happens lol. I am 67 and not as strong a biker as I used to be. Time for shorter and lighter motorcycles in my life.

When I was a young guy... there was only the Sportster and the Electra Glide. I went from a Honda 50 to a HD 74, in one step. When you are 15 years old, you can do stuff, at least in Pauly and my generation. I cannot think of any good reason why a boy born in 2005 would not have the same potential that we had back in... the other century. At 70, I have to be a little careful and I accept offers of assistance without hesitation. I give offers of assistance, without hesitation.

@TruckinMental3 жыл бұрын
One trick you can do no matter which side the back is down on but especially helpful if it is down on its left if you take a 12in cinder block and place it on the right side where the crash bar on that side will come down on the cinder block. I 12 inch cinder block is the perfect height for most big bikes. If you had added a lowrider set up to your bike an 8-inch block or 1 4 by 4 stacked on two four by fours in a pyramid set up works great

When that happens to a BMW K75RT, an internal engine hole (bad design) allows engine oil on to the clutch plates. Doesn't seem to bother you with that Harley. Well needed advice, especially for the over 50s.

I knew there'd be a better way than one of those 3 piece poles with a ratchet strap. I'd probably look for a scissor jack with plenty enough travel to lift it.
