Meh I turn the front wheel the way Im gonna lift it and heave it up not like that.

Knowing my luck if I done it that way I would push it over the other side

I would ask all those goons just standing there to lift it, while I'd pretend to be injured and unable to help..

Nah only ever had to lift my RS125 up and that only weighs around 114kg and no problem with the good ole giddy up son.

I just don't drop it to begin with!

[colin1]

that method wd be fine on a dry road, but chances are if you have come off, its slippy, so ur feet might slip and u wd land on ur bum

when i dropped my 600 over xmas i just pulled up on the bars and then lifted the tank

its amazing what you can lift when u still have adrenaline pumping from an off

It's the smart way of doing it, pretty much anyone should be able to lift any kind of bike doing it that way.

[mr.z]

Jump up and down swearing
Look arround franticly seeing if any bits fell off
Notice your full tank of petrol is emptying itself allover the road
Grab the grab rail and try to pull up towards you...
Fail, injure spine
Limp arround the otherside, ignoreing violent neck twitches
Heave the bike up so hard it comes back down on you..
Lay under bike with broken legs, phone for ambulance before passing out...

Isn't that what everyone else does?




Looks like a good way of doing it, considering your leg muscles are generally FAR more powerfull than your arms or back..

Picking up a 500cc bike safely will be on the test in the not too distant future

She's not standing by in pink high heels, fluttering her eyelashes and saying 'oh will some big strong boy please help me'... that might make her 'butch' in some eyes.

[blackmaxger]

In my opinion if you can't pick it up don't ride it

[Nath]

I'm not convinced. I've always found I can lift far greater weights with my back than by trying to use my legs. The engine from my 550 can't be that far off 90-100kg, yet I was able to lift it 2ft off the ground onto a table. Tried several times to lift it with my legs because everyone says it's bad to lift with your back, but I couldn't even get it off the floor that way.

I think the Japanese bike test requires you to be able to pick up the bike you're planning on riding. Something like that anyway. It's a good idea and should be on our test too.

Some kids once knocked over my motorbike outside my house. As 125cc it only weighs about 117kg. So I just grabbed it on the handle bads and under the seat and lifted the bugger up. Wasn't too much hassle. Was craping myself when my mom came running into my room yelling "Someones knocked over your bike". I assumed a car crashed into it, but nah kids knocked it over.
