Thanks Eddie. I just finish putting frame bobbins on my 2015 CBR1000RA so I it took a deep breath, rolled it out on the lawn, laid it down (carefully) and picked it up. Both sides. It worked just as you demonstrated. I am 68.

I was as lucky as it but after 20 days now I am back on. If had seen this video before... but you know.. now I met you and I can practice.

Probably because there's no point in showing it on such small bikes. For bikes of the type usually used in those classes, you wouldn't be using this technique. You'd make sure that it's off and in gear and then just lift the bike up by the handle bars. The 250cc bikes are light enough that you're not going to do any damage lifting the bike by its handle bars. They only weight like 400# tops and you're only lifting a fraction of that.

Another outstanding video. As a 90 pound female rider, I like to practice doing this. When I go to practice MotoJitsu drills on an empty parking lot, I normally also like to lay my bike down and practice lifting it up following Fast Eddie's steps here, just to be prepared should I fall on the road. I've been able to successfully lift my bike up each time following these steps. My bike is almost 3 times my weight. I also invested in crash bars for my brand new bike as suggested here. They were costly, but I've already fell twice and although the exhaust was scratched and the shift lever was bent, the fairings, which were my main concern, have been completely untouched. Thank you very much Fast Eddie for all the tips & amazing videos! Keep up the exceptional work!

Hey Eddie. Just discovered your channel a few weeks ago. Keep up the great work. Very informative. The only thing I would suggest about this video is that the first thing you do if your bike goes down is to turn the ignition off if it hasnt stalled. Even if it has stalled, turn the key all the way off. That way no silly things happen as you try and lift it. I've seen newbie trail riders try and pick up their bikes with the rear wheel still spinning. It never ends well. Adrenalin ... a friend when used correctly 😁😁. Cheers from Oz.

I was out practicing in local parking lots yesterday. Slow speed stuff. U turns, figure eights, tight turns from standing and a little e braking and dropped the GSA. Sobering. Text book motojitsu recovery however thanks to this vid. I gotta work on alternating my down foot at stops. I’m a left foot down guy 95% of the time. That needs to change. I also don’t like my boots. Very hard to feel the rear brake lever and the toe box is too big. (Alpinestar Belize Drystar) So much to think about and practice. It’s gotta be fluid. There is not enough time in the moment to think AND act. It’s gotta just happen. Thanks for what you’re doing. I love the channel.

What can I say say Eddie; but thanks Dude. I was testing out my bike and kit on a small tour in the UK to practice for a bigger tour into Europe next year. Anyway, I got back to the campsite in the dark, when I put my bike on the stand it fell over to the left..... Fuck! I thought!... However; I had watched this video some two days before and it all just kicked in. I clamped the front brake, turned around, put my ass into the seat with the handlebar tight against the tank and picked it up; a bit slippy underfoot because of the wet grass, but it worked! I can personally testify that this is the best way to pull your bike up off the ground. Cool! MozZ ;-)

The technique you used works well with my 900# Goldwing but the real challenge is picking up my 500# '75 CB550F. When it is laying on the ground the seat is in contact with the ground, even with crash bars on the front of the bike. Your BMW and the Goldwing lay about at a 30 degree angle making the lift demonstrated easy. I am looking for a technique that works with top heavy bikes that lay 5 degrees or less off the ground.

Only when I was in frozen mud did I have an issue since every move just slid eithe the bike or me. PLUS I was exhausted from a whole day of tactical training way back off the beaten path. Some guys from the training were in 4x4s and helped me, which was great, but I always plan on doing it myself. I would have just taken a little time to rest up, secure the wheels (I always carry a mini shovel in my gear) and then did this. Im going on 60 myself!!!

This is sometimes referred to as the "Harley technique" for picking up motorcycles because it's specifically required to lift a big bike by yourself. The alternative that I've seen people do in videos is use an actual jack to lift the bike high enough that they can pick it up. A word of warning though, those HD bikes are heavy, they can start tipping over with a relatively small amount of lean if you're not in motion. They'll go from stable upright to on their side a lot quicker than you'd realize.

Greg Myers Heavy bikes are not gas guzzlers. They get easily 40mpg regular riding, and even better at highway speeds. They're fuel sippers compared to your average economy car, and a green machine compared to your average SUV/Truck that commutes down the highway at 17~20mpg. At any rate the Fat Boy I'm getting will have an Engine guard which makes it far easier to pick up. I've seen other women smaller than me pick up 750lb+ Dynas with the engine guards on them.

I have a Ninja 400 which everyone keeps telling me is lightweight, it's heavy as hell for me, but this tactic still worked getting it back up both times (dropped it an hour ago trying to practice and figure out how to turn).

There is another way that I have discovered to pick up a heavy bike. I find it’s the easiest (for me) but maybe it can be helpful. Same rules apply with the kickstand, if it’s facing upward deploy it before you try this, if downward it will be part of the process. Put your right hand on the grip nearest the ground, your left hand on the grip pointing up, then straightening your back literally walk the bike up.. just walk towards the bike while putting pressure on the grip your left hand is on. Remember to deploy the kickstand if the bike fell that way part way up, then just set it on the stand, otherwise, just walk the bike to it’s already deployed kickstand. The bike will go up with surprisingly minimal effort! …That being said, I’m not trying to contradict Eddie or postulate a “better” way, this is just another way that has worked for me. Thank you Eddie for making these videos, you have taught me a great deal!

Maybe if I had crash guards I could lift my bike. I tried for 3 hours to no avail. Cb500 is too low to the ground and too hard to get any leverage. I will get the guards. That is very good advice. Jumping off is also good advice. Good video.

welp, next purchase is frame sliders and bar protectors :) a couple days after i got my cbr600rr home, i was sitting on it, then i kinda bounced it a bit to see what the suspension was like and it started to go over to the right, past center and got to feel the full weight of the little sucker! i saved it but she's no joke, 440lbs and I'm only about 150lbs, tall and skinny lol.

Dropped my bike today as I was making a very sharp right turn from the dead stop. Wish I knew the technique before, as I wasn't able to lift up the bike. One of the guys stopped by and helped me. Thank you Eddie

I have seen many similar videos and the one common thing is that the location is always a car park or similar where the ground is flat the the surface is solid. I had a minor fall on a steep dirt track and I had to use the handlebar method. Perhaps you could show how to handle this situation?

Not surprising there's a reason why women were often employed to pull plows on farms rather than drive. The lower body strength of a typical woman is similar to a man's, but the upper body isn't necessarily anywhere close. So, if you just use the lower body, a typical woman should be fine, and probably one that's a lot smaller.
