That Didn't Go as Planned...

[@renerios1056]

Yeah she definitely needs something light to ride like an R3. She'll gain confidence on that and work her way up to a 600. Great video none the less.

[@JaretCampisi]

After all the comments on the first video saying to lift it up with her turned around I can absolutely say that is harder than how we did it originally. All of those videos were people picking up cruisers with a much lower seat height and center of gravity. Simply grabbing the handle bars and lifting it up was the easiest way for BOTH of us to lift a sport bike.

[@addicted2baseballrgd21]

Jaret Campisi I use the handle bar method. GSXR-600 and Ninja .... On a heavy cruiser or full bagger, squatting would seem more appropriate, but I admit I never attempted on these bikes.

[@richfjr1300]

your best bet is to use your legs to lift it, the other way(s) use your back and you'll find out when you get older, you need your back! LOL

[@evolvingguy2766]

Jaret Campisi yeah that while turning around for women thing not that I'm saying they are weak but is simply stupid if their grip slips the poor girl will be crushed

[@beeweezee71888]

Jaret Campisi Damn Jaret your Gxr sounds soo nice with that m4 exhaust!!! Hopefully your ladie could get a bike that she could handle and lift without straining herself.

[@addicted2baseballrgd21]

Don't post another video, unless she actually has a bike. 🤓 we getting tired of the suspense 😂

[@joshmathis2]

"they need to make cycles for women." are you kidding me

[@fox200o]

Joshmathis2 they exist they are called bycicles

[@daniellec9634]

I can lift my 550lb bike and I'm not much larger than she is. Not every woman is incapable of lifting a bike on her own. I found her comment "they need to make cycles for women" quite insulting.

[@vincentebarrios2049]

My 5'1 105 pound girlfriend can lift my bike. Given she can squat double her body weight but thes besides the point. Hearing that comment bothered me as well since bikes are uni-sex machines, and women are just as capable of men.

[@vincentebarrios2049]

I kinda expected her to lift the bike up because of the gymshark leggings lol

[@moneek180]

+António F. Lol Fuck you. Go make me a sandwich bish.

[@impwork]

the easyest way is to stay where windshield is, grab only the under handlebar with both hands and lift. (dont touch the bike, dont need to push anything)... you lift with no problem a bike like 400kg this way

[@mike9rr]

Sorry if this has been suggested, but 572 comments...wow! Anyway, I have a BMW F800ST and I use handlebar straps attached to spots front (handlebars) and rear (like subframe) and then grip the straps. This allows my legs to start with less flexion. Like doing squats but only going partway down. Handlebar straps are widely available and cheap. Easy to throw a pair in a tank bag.

[@hfr8343]

She damn near snapped her shit up with her back towards the bike. The handle bar way seems safest

[@JaretCampisi]

yeah dude after 100's of comments on our last video telling her to do it that way it was wayyyyy more unsafe. Bunch of idiots man.

[@hfr8343]

Jaret Campisi lol agreed

[@HarleyBreakoutGuy]

The first time Jaret did it was the better way for strong guys the 3rd way with the handle bar would have been easier if she used her hips and legs to walk the bike up because she didn't use her hips and legs to lean against the bike while taking small baby steps it made it harder for her. The 2nd way with the back to the bike is not for sports bikes that's only for cruisers.

[@OliverClosov13]

[2nd way] ...and for adventure bikes (usually loaded down with gear, and therefore heavier) But JESUS straighten your back!!

[@EssentialComment]

3:05 "that's because this bike is not for her" 10/10 good comment

[@DanielBrown-yw5zc]

Lol I was like what....

[@Chef2180]

Like anything there are many ways to do stuff just do what suits yourself to be honest

[@JaretCampisi]

amen brother!!!

[@777ahoward]

your positivity in the comments section is probably my favorite part of your vids and the reason I subbed. All these shitty people saying dumb things could really get you down. They'll hate you, then they'll want to be you. Stay positive man. Enjoy what you have and keep creating content you love.

[@JaretCampisi]

right on man, really appreciate that and I feel the exact same way :)

[@kirkbrooks9447]

I was taught the back to the bike method by a retired motorcycle cop when I got my first bike some years back. Fortunately I've only had to use it twice over the years. The 2nd time was on a fairly heavy Honda NT700V, it works well I thought.

[@Vishnu4507]

I know you have frame sliders installed but every time you sat the bike down I cringed so hard... 😂😂

[@JaretCampisi]

haha yeah I don't like to see it either

[@Jordan-md3uc]

Keep it up with the consistent content Jaret, lovin the grind! Cheers brother

[@JaretCampisi]

yeah buddy! Glad you're enjoying :)

[@jltilghman]

Funny vid. I have dropped my own r1 a couple times. And at MMI they make everyone pick up a goldwing. The handlebars is use on sportbikes. Back method is used on cruisers. And one hand on tail and one on handlebar is used on dirtbikes.

[@nicolivoldkif9096]

Yeah, if the sportsbike is on terrain that doesn't give the tires the best grip, which is not uncommon if it went down, trying to do the back to seat can just cause you to push or spin the bike on the ground causing more damage to it. This comes from most sportsbikes able to lean over significantly more making it harder to get purchase to lift off of your back to the seat. I've tried it a few times with my S750 to try it and I can't even though lifting it up by the handlebars is easy for me.

[@romitmankame8548]

The motorcycle pick up technique you mentioned "with you back" is used to pick up heavy cruisers/touring/enduro machines. On standard and sports motorcycles conventional method of picking it up with the handlebars is used.

[@JaretCampisi]

now you tell me haha

[@romitmankame8548]

sorry saw it later.....responding from India!!!

[@jitterball]

This is one of the best ways to pick up bike, when it's performed right. At 3:31, she would totally end up hurting her back. She is basically standing and using her back muscles to pick up the bike, which is wrong. The idea is to use your leg muscles to pick up the bike. So, basically, you sit with your back straight, then you slowly get up, only using leg muscles and without change of posture.

[@WhiskeyGroove]

Hey Jaret, I appreciate you and Christina taking the time to do that again. It just goes to show you that everyone​ is different and it doesn't always work the same. So, for Christina my advice is not to drop her bike once she gets one! lol.....You two are awesome and thanks for sharing!

[@JaretCampisi]

haha for sure man and always appreciate the feedback!

[@dwoaks1]

I had a Kawasaki Voyager 1300 cc touring bike 915 lb's that fell over a few times and I had to set it back up on the side stand by my self back in the early 90's. I did not use the back to the bike way either. I ride a Honda Gold Wing GL 1500/6 SE now. It's over 800 lb's it has not fallen over so far so if it ever does I'll let you know how I got it back up right.

[@mark-1234]

You mentioned it and I will confirm that using your back to pick up a bike is more for heavy (800+ lbs) cruisers, not sport or other lighter bikes. And when using that method, you don't just lift with your legs. You also push against or into the seat with your butt, pulling the lower handlebar in while picking up, which turns the front wheel down into the pavement, giving you a better fulcrum to roll it up on. One of my bikes is an 83 Venture and I can assure you picking it up is much easier using this method.

[@jassinyacks1222]

I lifted my first few bikes by the handlebars for years until I bought a real bike!!! 2017 HD Road Glide Ultra, 929 lb loaded and with touring cargo you can be looking at over 1000 lbs. After dropping it once I found that hands down the best way to lift a heavy bike is with your back to the bike using your legs to push. As a lifter you should know that your form is key, lifting with your back and arms will only cause injury.

[@Roadstar1602]

She's doing it wrong, my friend. That's why she's having trouble. She needs to basically be forcing her butt into the seat with the power of her legs, not trying to stand up while holding it with her arms. It's incredibly easy once you do it right, and it doesn't matter if it's a sport bike or cruiser.

[@katlyntruelove14]

Roadstar1602 it also needs to be in gear. It started to roll when she was doing it.

[@ferreiragunderson5027]

From my experience (250 cc dirt bike to 1100 cc Gold Wing), I just face the bike and grab the handle bar at both ends and just pick it up with proper form, but with the Gold Wing and generally bigger bikes, it makes a lot more sense to not put so much stress on my back. So the back-towards-bike method works great for BIG bikes, or anybody that doesn't have awesome upper body strength. You seem like a cool guy btw, keep it up. :)

[@stephaniescott1566]

my wife is 5'2 123# she dropped my 600 gsxr a 1999 . she found the ezest way for her to pick up the bike was face it ,grab bar and back peg and leg it up.. I was impressed she refused to let us help her she kept going till she found away to get it up .

[@Rx7man]

I pick it up by the handlebars, primarily because if you're on a hill, you can apply the front brake easily to prevent it from rolling while you're picking it up

[@skatenpro]

Jaret first of all love the videos and the fact that you and Christina are making videos together. Everyone has their own lifestyle and how they want to live it so don't let the haters get to you just shrug it off but I know sometimes it's easier said then done. By the way I love my 2013 GSXR and if you ever make it to Utah you should hear my Akrapovic GP exhaust and do a video with The Muscle Biker he is a friend of mine.

[@terrywright2850]

I was told that if the bike is on its left side, turn the handle bars to the right to that the front wheel points up. Then use both hands on the left bar and use the leverage to pull it upright, Ideally facing away to keep your back straight. It helps to roll up on the wheel in that direction. (Or get a big guy to do it for you??) Greetings from across the pond.

[@Howard3S]

At a rally, a lifting demonstration involved a female wearing heels, she lifted a GoldWing using the backing up way using mainly her legs, but grabbing the seat handle and bars. Lifting up with her shoulders and back is tougher. The big thing is to make sure you ease up as it lifts, or it can go over the other way. I think she definitely could get it up. (intended double meaning.)

[@DR2PA]

😂 today's first try works for cruisers because of the way the bikes are designed as you already noticed. Not saying that I've dropped many bikes but Every bike l've picked up I pick it up by the handle like you guys just did and I am not a muscular guy nor tall at all. Great job with the video. 👍🏼

[@JaretCampisi]

haha yeah her back to the bike definitely felt way more unsafe.

[@BudzReact]

the whole back to it to lift it, really only helpful for small, little people and works best if your bike falls on its right side, u can put kickstand out so incase u lift it to far the bike wont go crashing to ground automatically.

[@deormanrobey892]

What works for me- Like she did at 4:58 facing the bike, but stand closer to the front, switch hands so your arms aren't crossed and push the high side grip away while lifting the low side.

[@grnhrntskato]

Hope you found the right way to lift a touring bike. I taught my wife on her first bike (644 lbs). Only way for a woman is to put the kickstand down first if it is on the side sticking up in the air. Turn your back to it, put your butt on the seat and get a hold of the handle bar and edge of seat. Put the legs out far enough from the bike that it is not a complete dead lift. Take small steps backwards so the bike is lifted in small increments. Once it is upright, set it over on the kick stand if you are on the right side or put the kickstand in place if you are on the left and set it down. My wife still uses this method to pick up her latest bike, Victory Vision Tour at 1,414 lbs.

[@harrybrown4815]

All depends on the bike what it is used for, where you are when you have dropped it and how much help you need if any ,if you are injured. But in the end it is down to the amount of leverage to over come the weight there are no right or wrongs just easier and harder ways depending on the bike and you .

[@Teh509]

Nice vid mate. yeah this method is really for heavy bikes or smaller people. Right hand on clutch bar and left on a suitable grab rail or structural part. Handle bar method works but you have to be careful with heavier bikes not to damage the grip. Also the bars will be on full lock to left.

[@dedasdude]

I too pickup with the 2nd way. THe first way works for cruizers and long bikes.

[@touristguy87]

if you're going to lift it backwards then you need to have your back straight, even bent backwards a little, and push with your legs. When you start off bent over in the fetal position then you have to straighten your back while lifting the bike which defeats the purpose. To me the easiest way is simply to turn the handlebar so the wheel turns to the high side, so the lowside handlebar is as far away from the bike as possible, maximizing the leverage at the handlebar, and pull the handlebar with both hands in a circle around the contact-point where the wheels touch the ground. Works easily every time. Done that way, you're not trying to lift the bike up, you're just swinging it around the tires. All the weight stays on the tires.

[@MotoMarta]

Love the comments from (mom?) 😂 Great vid!! I'm 100lbs and 5' tall, I used to race a 2007 Gixxer. Racing means crashing and I had to pick that pig up a few times if I wanted to keep going. Not sure how much the adrenaline helps! LOL It still felt like moving a house, but if could do it, any girl out there has a chance of picking up the average sport bike! If this had happened on the street or during a track day I think I would have thought that for sure there is no way I could do it and just waited for one of the guys (yes they donflock to help). But the first time I crashed that bike was during a race and I was pissed off that I took myself out and thought I might as well try otherwise I'm stuck sitting here on the side lines waiting for the race to finish before any one can come for a pick up. And whatta ya know! 🙈 I had to pick up from towards the front of the bike, just like your 2nd try. That's where all the weight of those bikes is. I would pull up on the handle bar that was on the ground (downed side) with both hands trying to use mostly my legs as not to hurt my back, just to get the tank up off the ground far enough that I could sort of get my ass under the tank and then prop the weight of the bike with my legs. Take a much needed break and breather. Try doing this wearing a suit, back protector, and helmet! Then it was pretty much like doing a squat from hell while holding the handle bar just to make sure the bike didn't keep going the other way once it was up! There is no way in hell I could pick up a sport bike the way you did on the first try. That's how I was taught in rider training as well and I'm sorry, it just doesn't work for smaller or weaker people and from physics point of view just doesn't make sense for a sport bike. I only figured out what worked for me through frustration fuelled trial and error. It's awesome to see some one do a vid on this!

[@dansalmon2698]

hey dude cheers from Canada, great videos man I love your honest enthusiasm towards motorcycling

[@user-gp1xw1qe4g]

I have a cruiser and I couldn't lift it the way the other way from the seat. I tried with the bars as well, and couldn't. My Adrenalin was pumping and I had no energy. I think thats why. In this video, you also said, "I need to get some gas," My tank was full too.. maybe the weight from the full tank made it impossible?

[@dougrowell7817]

Hi I've seen this on the "Ride like a Pro" videos, but while cruisers at e heavy, they rest on the protection bars and don't lie right over. My Concour 14 lies on its side with the rear tyre off the ground so it wants to slide. I can't lift it alone. :( Thanks tho' great video.

[@sparkyobrian6417]

agreed, this was demonstrated in a motorcycle magzine issue in the late 70's -the only way I could pick up my 1975 guzzi 850 T3.

[@greatkingrat]

This was really useful. I dropped my bike on a hill doing a u turn so the bike was more than flat on the ground. I couldn't lift it with the back way at all. I didn't know what to do so I was lucky that someone helped.

[@anthonyleverington9374]

I had a complete brain fart one day with my 533 lb cruiser. I pulled up to park and as I was dismounting the bike, I realized too late that I'd forgotten to put the kickstand down. I did manage to keep if from "falling" onto it's side but, it still went over far enough for the handlebars to touch the ground. Here I was all alone..........not a soul in sight, trying to upright this heavy beast. Since I'd just been riding, finding places to grab that weren't hot was a bit of a challenge. What finally worked was, lifting it by the tank and seat up to about a 45° to 50° angle, then bracing it with my legs while I switched my grip to the handlebars to finish lifting it far enough to get the kickstand into position. It took just about every ounce of strength I had but, I finally did it.

[@pb2758]

Jaret, I've used the method you demonstrated to pickup police bikes and big touring bikes. You are right, some of the touring bikes are weighing in way over 1,000 pounds. Learning to lift a heavy bike with your legs instead of your back is paramount. Have fun and be safe.

[@JaretCampisi]

Right on appreciate the feedback! Ride safe as well!

[@pmh1nic]

I'm 5'6" and ride an HD Street Bob(680 lbs). I've have had to lift it once and could only do it with my back towards the bike. It is a cruiser and the leverage would be different for a sport bike.

[@Shinyshinytoys]

Using your back is crucial if you are on a heavy touring bike or a cruiser. It's the only way to get 1000+ pounds of bike uprighted. If you have a smaller café bike or racer, certainly it's going to be more difficult to back your way up because the bike sits lower on the macadam. Best bet there is to use the handlebars or wait for someone do give you a hand. We haven't ascertained if the person who dropped the bike is injured, at which point the bike can stay where it is...

[@gregormiller4037]

I whole-heartedly agree mom, have her atleast try the BMW 310. There are two versions, way lighter, confidence builder... so after 6 months or so, the bike will retain value for a trade-in or you can trick it out. If you think its slow, can always mod it.

[@cbxr7506]

Hey man you should remove the catalytic converter. Your gsxr would sound a lot meaner! And btw you would smoke that 414hp Maserati no doubt! Show him who's the bad boy!

[@favian3380]

CBXR750 yup he could even give a good run to a 500hp

[@JaretCampisi]

yeah I am thinking of removing it...will I have to get it tuned then?

[@cbxr7506]

Jaret Campisi I don't think you do. I have a 07 gsxr 750 and my slip on goes straight into the headers. I'm not too sure about the 2011 and up models. You might just need a mid pipe but also you might not.

[@sandyycl]

Jaret Campisi yeah tuned it with pcv/bazzaz/any else after install full system exhaust..

[@skatenpro]

Jaret Campisi yes if you do a full exhaust you want to get a tuner and re tune the bike. Only with a slip on its not required.

[@cstephenson9223]

[@travvypoo]

I just got my first bike 2 weeks ago and my goal was to never drop it. Well that goal is out the window but luckily I was practicing figure 8's in my backyard on grass and no damage occured. Just a bruised ego and a temporary hit to my confidence.

[@SeaniepGdizzle]

I think you guys are correct. Nice work trying the different methods.

[@DR2PA]

And Christina K. Should buy/get whatever she feels comfortable riding. In my opinion (a Yamaha YZF R6 owner's opinion) the Suzuki GSXR 600 and the Honda CBR 600RR are perfect for shorter individuals because of how comfortable they are and and they are still comfortable if you lower them a couple of inches. It the bike is lower there are less chances to drop it too lol. She should keep that bike you have there if she feels comfortable with it

[@JaretCampisi]

yeah thats what I think too but we'll see :)

[@duanem3658]

Jaret, I grew up in Steelton. I have not brought my Roadliner to HBG yet, but that scenery is drawing me. I can imagine that ride up the river past Dauphin northward. One of these days...

[@Warhawk94]

First way: You need to lower your center of gravity and are basically doing a dead lift... Purely legs... Also, you should be grabbing the handle bar and the rear foot peg, or if you can reach, the frame above the rear tire. Second way: You are supposed to turn the tire away from you at the same time which causes the tire to lift the bike up, just be careful not to let go of the front brake as the bike COULD be in neutral and start rolling. Third way (if you have great clutch control and brake control while off the bike): Use the throttle to pull the bike up. Super slowly... Saw a guy do this at the track the other day, like a boss...

[@rolandtiiroja]

For me (I'm 64kg pretty weak guy) the best way so far is to pick up the bike with my back (walking up the bike backwards). Just picking the bike up as you first did was impossible to me. It was just too heavy to just lift it up. I had 200kg sport touring bike. But I will definitely try this handlebar trick next time I need to.

[@eddiemac881]

hey great video man love the content. im getting a 2015 gsxr 600 in june. first bike. supper excited. keep up the great vids homie!

[@Steve_with_coffee]

Lifting with your back to the bike is a method for lifting heavy adventure bikes like the r1200gs, which don't of course have wide bars and often have panniers and weigh substantially more than your sport bike. Watch a BMW off road training video, or similar, and you'll see the lifts demonstrated.

[@MarcGXE95]

Just a small pointer, you just need to roll it up and not lift it! When you are back to the bike, keep the but low and push up and back, not just up! From a R1200GS Adventure dude! Now that is top heavy!

[@RotchildFrancoisJr]

Marc Frechette I watched a video of MrBenBrown picking up his R1200 GS and that's what I was thinking the whole time. Putting your back to the bike is definitely the better option.

[@GregHassler]

There are at least 3 solid ways to lift a bike, probably more. First off, the back into it method never works for me either. And I agree it's always shown on cruisers. I'm well over 6' and I have to bend down way too far to get any useful hold on the bike, or my legs are too bent and have no lifting power (which is also bad on the knees). The handlebar method does work as well, generally I've found on lighter bikes. Some cruisers have long handlebars and weak risers and it doesn't work as well as they flex too much. Most of the time I lift with my stomach or chest to the seat with legs stretched way back, pressing up in little steps (more horizontally than vertically). Basically similar but backwards to what you're trying here, but much easier to find hand holds and more natural. It doesn't hurt your back if you keep it straight. Now I'm normally lifting a 500+ lb adventure bike with a high center of gravity, and doing it in a river or sideways on a rocky hill with the bike half stuck in a bush and a vine wrapped around the handlebar. If you can't lift a bike on a clear level concrete surface, get a different bike because that's the easiest situation ever. There are many different types of bikes and many different types of bodies, anyone who thinks there is one and only one proper way of lifting a bike isn't very experienced.

@3:53 "they need to make cycles for women" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!TRIGGERED!!!!!!!!!!!! WOMANS are equal to MANS though!

[@TD402dd]

I've told people for years this is the best method given you have grab locations. The handle bar method works when you have the bike in gear. I just don't think a weak person has a chance.

[@Dusty_Moonpie]

With the handlebars lift, if you hold the front break and turn the front wheel in the direction you are lifting it makes it even easier.

[@marksaunderson3042]

Picking it up backward mainly uses the legs, which are stronger than arms or back muscles, and less prone to injury that the the back/spine. Of course if your girl friend is a wimp and bends so far forwards when trying to pick it up that she is almost touching the ground with her forehead, she is using her back not her legs to try to lift, so it won't work, but then if she can't pick it up properly using her legs she would not be able to pick it up using any method at all all short of a recovery truck, but has probably avoided a pulled muscle in her back and 6 months in traction. The idea of the backwards method is that a wimp can pick up a Harley, no pulled muscles.

[@MotoErgoSum]

Easier to face the seat and do a deadlift. One hand on a grip and the other under a passenger peg, subframe, or the tail. Just make sure the bike is in gear if you're lifting from the clutch side. Brake side, squeeze the front brake as you lift. Holding both bars is awkward and puts you over the bike as you're trying to lift.

[@hollowaysteve]

The gixxer 6 is quite light and you are are a fairly big guy used to lifting weights. For a lot of people and with heavier bikes lifting a bike with ones 'back into it' is easier. Also, When I have had to do it, I don't position myself at the seat. I am more along the tank so I can get a good grip on the handlebar and my other hand is around the seat area. Obviously it will vary a little depending on the bike. Your girlfriend (while gorgeous ;-) is quite petite and shall clearly struggle if she positions herself at the seat. The tank on those is quite wide so it won't be the easiest bike for her to lift up like that.

[@highsnburgers4862]

That's the Gold Wing method. That R3 lays too close to the ground to lift that way. It's also light enough to just pick up. Hold the front brake on during the lift, when possible.

[@gulducot]

Sorry 2 cents one more time. Seat height doesn't come into play especially on it's side most are 28-30+ inches sport or cruiser. It's the handlebars that make it a tad harder. Christina needed to have her arms and back straight legs more forward not tucked under. The bike tires dig in the upper body with slight tension is just the connection to the bike it's all a leg press. Why did I bother to comment? It's obvious you guys care, you bother to youtube. You reach a lot of motorcycle viewers and it's painful to think someone could injure their back lifting improperly. Your guys are bodybuilders, and sportbikes are generally less than 400lbs a brute force lift. A bagger lifting your way ouch it's even a challenge the right way. Safe rides to all!

[@jbaumun]

I've just lifted my bike ( sportster 883 ) by the handle grips - power lift , kinda like the way Olympic weight lifters snap up their weights . Prest-o - upright bike .

[@st08121982]

I know some folks like to pick up a bike this way , but I don't do it this way . I do it the regular way . By the way , you should be picking up the bike from the side opposite to the side stand , or the bike will topple over . Cheers !

[@mouldycontroller7596]

not to be picky but would it be a little different in gear? gloves, pants (optional) and jacket?

[@mouldycontroller7596]

i mean the friction and grip i mean, i know you are looking for the easiet way for her to pick it up but it just pondered on the mind

[@seabuck59]

Heavy cruzers are way different. Take a touring Harley Davidson at 800 pounds and since they all have a crash bar in front of the engine in sits a litter further off the ground when down. With that in mind the only way a smaller person, or anyone for that matter, can right it is to keep back straight and use legs to walk backward lifting the bike upright. Lots of videos online showing very small ladies getting this done. First video of yours that I have seen and enjoyed your comments. Ride On...

[@hugot12]

some sport bikes are way heavier than this bike. If you were going to face away from the bike, you would have to grab the bike somewhere with straight arms to use mostly legs. Trying to sit as high against the seat as possible , like just pushing against it while the bike just starts to rise, then you inch downward against the seat further all the while positioning your legs for a better stance and lift. A girl sure better find the best place to grab the bike, especially on a sportbike. If you lose grip with your hands or shoe grip, your bike may come crashing down. Facing the bike as he did moving into it using a good stance with leg power is a great way to safely lift and hold on to your bike securely.

Love the way You're using her for Klicks, good Job 🤗❤️

[@MOTORCYCLES-ANDGUNS]

Justin GoesFitt lol bro it's his girl they work together and there happy. ✌✌

[@marcopalma4927]

and that is all that matters....

[@gregormiller4037]

...And nothing else matters...:)

[@prentondormain2725]

how dare he use his girl to show any female viewers on what to try...just how dare he ... lol you're a loser mate

[@cbxr7506]

The method grabbing both handle bars and using your legs was the best! No wonder how she did it almost by herself

[@JaretCampisi]

yes absolutely agree. Thats the way her and I will both be doing it from now on.

[@b.e.n2357]

Another way is to just hold one side of the handlebars and "squat" it up

[@rick1027able]

It's leverage. She has to lean into the bike where she's almost engaging the suspension. So she's actually pushing it back instead of lifting up. If you push it away from you, the tires will catch and it will tip upwards

[@jamiel9902]

Since cruisers sit lower and wider, when they do lay down, they are not as perpendicular to the ground. Hope I made sense in that statement. Although I did see a video of a little old lady picking up an Electra Glide doing this method.

[@renegadebiker24]

WOOHOO. SHE DID IT!!!! 😀😀😀😀 There you go Christina!!! KEEP practicing. 😀😀😀

[@JaretCampisi]

getting there right!

[@ChristinaKhalil]

renegadebiker24 thank you!😂😸

[@samarth12k]

Christina Khalil hi babe

[@myraj31]

which exhaust do you have on tour bike..it sounds really cool..cheers man..

[@JaretCampisi]

thanks man! Its an M4 moto GP style slip on :)

[@mjordan812]

Butt to the seat is the ONLY way for a heavy bike. Video of Skert lifting a BMW GS: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4mXZmCol9J3l68

[@kandinrobinson2090]

What ever way you do it, make sure it's either in gear [obviously switched off], or you're holding the brake. I've picked mine back up and it started rolling off and I dropped it again.

[@JimsEquipmentShed]

Not only is the seat lower, most of those bikes had crash bars, and that changed the CG 100%. Its much easier to stand up a cruiser than a sport bike.

[@keepthinking2666]

no still you hold the break to stop it from rolling and its easier to lift

[@Error-kl9op]

No matter how small you are and how heavy the bike is, once you drop it and the adrenaline starts pumping, you'll lift it with one hand

[@PMolk]

I think the key is to use legs instead of back/arms. Also if you're lifting from the other side the stand will stop it toppling the other way.

[@jeanpaultomaz6111]

Never leave that girl, man.

[@GTARockman]

lol obviously you have never had a hot g/f

[@drummerhero4652]

I think the best thing to keep in mind was the comment about adrenaline after a crash or even just a simple tip over. It's a crazy feeling for sure!

[@JaretCampisi]

yep so true!

[@AEF6P2]

how much cc is that bike

[@Fergesslich]

600

[@heartlessconcept]

I'm always watching bike videos. Now he makes me want to buy one.

[@chenchen8597]

What exhaust is that? Looks clean.

[@JaretCampisi]

m4 moto gp style :)

[@Random_Tangent]

interesting to see that it was harder to lift that way, I use the bar method myself because it works and i can keep my footing on gravel better.

[@richardli8634]

Respect to you, for using your bike to show your girl how to do it.

[@KrustyKlown]

a 6" long strap in your right hand, going to the left handle bar grip, would put you in a much more powerful posture (bending forward to reach that grip puts you in a horrible compromised position, low strength, and high possibility of injuring your back!) .... such a strap could be a single loop of 1" wide nylon material, maybe a good emergency item?

[@subzero6438]

Another great video you two, Keep doing your thing and F all the haters on here. Christina I hope this won't stop you from getting a bike soon, I'm sure you won't be riding without Jaret when you get your bike so if you lay it down he will be there to help you pick it back up. Jaret your a braver man then me for laying your bike down like that just to make a video. I'm can't ever see myself laying SUB ZERO down just to see if my wife could pick it back up lol. But this was a good video because I never thought about how women pick their bikes up if they ever lay it down and nobody is around to help them so thanks again for doing this video. Keep them coming you two and I hope to see you both riding soon.

[@cearap01]

good job showing the different ways to pick up the bike - just note for us older riders lifting the bike facing like you do is a lot harder - you have the power now at your age but as you get older that doesn't always work. thank you for doing this video though. Informative. Also, ladies will get help way faster than us males. btw, I'm 50+ and have been riding since I was 19 - your way is not bad just not the recommended for new riders starting to ride. Remember you are showing the best options in your vids not just your way. :)

[@JaretCampisi]

haha right on, appreciate the feedback and glad you enjoyed the video!

[@aegisranger]

"That's because this bike is NOT FOR HER." such a mom statement... lol.

[@KutWrite]

It helps if you have the bike in gear so it doesn't roll. Or, tie the front brake fully closed.

[@tedbarnhart]

The best advice I ever received about riding gear was, always dress for the crash because sooner or later, there will probably be one. I live in PA and always rode with full gear, even in 90 degree heat.

[@zrx12gs650g]

Are you freaking kidding me? 124hp out of the 600's now? That's incredible.. And yes, the bike and the car sound amazing!

[@rj0614]

Dude, don't care what others say, I had to pick my bike up a few times and did it your first video way. Much easier and less awkward.
