I just grab the fucking bars and pick the damn thing up. This is good for monster cruisers and for chicks. Nice vid.

My wife did that at the HD dealer.

But I call BS.

"Don't do if on an incline"

How many of the crashed bikes you pick up are in the ditch or off the side of the road!

"Don't do if it's laking any fluids"

WTF you asshats, of coarse it's going to be leaking fluids you moron, it's tipped over! The longer you leave it there the more it will leak!

"Put down the kick stand cause we are lifting it over that way"

What so you only crash on the right side? IDIOTS!

Last one is easy... just flip it completely over from the left side, onto the right side, then pull the kickstand down and flip it upright. Problem solved.

Oh yeah... DUH! Thanks so much, I'm glad I have you here to help me along.

I'll have to lay my dual sport on the side and see if I can lift it up now. I tried practicing before, I don't remember if I have ever tried using my butt against the seat...I am sure I have....I know I have tried squatting down next to it and turning the handlebars and using my legs and I could never get it up past a quarter of the way.

That old lady in the end looked like she was going to get a hernia and throw out her back from doing that.

I laugh only because a friend of mine did just this to my 04 Aprilia. Whooops a little too far, let's try that again from the other side now.

I just bent over and picked up the busa when it tipped over.

I can usually grab the handle bar and lift, but this is nice for when my back disagrees with me. The time I slipped in oil my back was hurting more then anything else... damn small inclination of the road.. Of course I will not be needing to apply this method anytime soon.. knock on wood..

Very clever u are.

I just use the bars to pick up the bike, but I can deadlift the entire thing anyway.
