Well...lucky for me I already knew how to do this 9 days ago, when that (woman) knocked my bike over in Laramie.
# 1 tip, always make sure you have the sidestand down, before lifting the bike.
Wouldn't it be better to have the bike in gear? In the video the bike just about gets away from him rolling backwards as he's bringing it up.
I always just whistle and say something nice...:iduno:.....seriously , great info...
:banghead:
OK! So the bike's on the left side . . .How to put the side stand down??!!, and what does it accomplish? :021:
Welllllll from the right side the kick stand down would keep the bike from falling to the other side.....
Here ya go .....

Well, I am not going out and knocking my bike over just to practice but I am going to bookmark that video on my phone just in case.
These videos sure came in handy when I had a flat. Was a lot easier than I would have ever thought to change the tire.
I suggest finding that young lady and have her come over and lift your bike. She already has that skill down perfectly!
Thats the 1st thing I taught my wife how to do when she started riding. Made her pick up my VTX1300 in case she ever had to pick it up when I wasn't around and she was riding with her friends.
Ok…all nice vid’s……I don’t think I have had the F6 on it side but if it happens…and it will happen to anyone who rides enough…I just bend over and pick it up…no big deal!
I do know it works because I have seen people do it. I have not been able to lift my wings when they have fallen over. I guess I just do not have enough leg muscle strength. :icon_frown:
It turns out that It was a good thing to know, I went to take the bike off of the center stand while backed into a curb at an angle and as sure as sh*t it got away from me and went down. I calmly walked over to the other side and set it back up with just a little effort.
