    in Slovenia, you have to push the bike forward and around cones, before you even get to sit on it and ride it - it's the first part of the riding test. It's so that they (and you) can see, that you can handle the bike. if not, you fail.
    great tips, especially for going backwards. and the 2 finger balancing, gonna try as soon as I get to my bike!

      Same in France. You have to push it forward, then turn at a right angle between 2 cones that are 1m apart, then, without putting it in the kickstand, do the same thing in reverse... and you are not allowed to turn the handle bar the "other way", but you can go forward again to turn at a "better moment" if you need to (if it's right turn, you can't manoeuvre by turning the handle bar left)

    A tip I learned when I was training people, start them off doing it with a small bike , (125) then a slightly larger bike (250/350) then a 500 then a 750, then a 1000. This way the trainees feels the differences in how motorcycles behave when weight is a factor. I realised not everybody has the strength to handle pushing, wheeling, manhandling larger bikes. If you have progressed slowly up the cc's and weight categories in your riding life you appreciate the skills and nuances of handling a non running dead weight balanced motorcycle. Your right in saying if the person has bought a bike that there's no way in hell they have the strength to move when it's not running then yes they've bought a bike that's TOO BIG for them and it's time to rethink. There is a knack and you and I know as seasoned riders what that is but new riders have never even thought of how am I going to manhandle this bike in a parking lot or in my garage or anywhere else it might be a tight spot or slightly inclined.
    Like you say bud patience, practice and practice. But always remember some new riders have limits on ability. 👍😉

    Not all bikes because some of them have weak kickstands but you can actually lean it on the kickstand and rotate it all the way around on a dime to turn it around. I do this with my Kawasaki in my skinny driveway so I don't have to fight with it up a hill.

    There's another way of moving even a heavy bike when you are negotiating tight corners and narrow paths and doorways that I've seen regularly used at my local dealer in the UK.
    Their technique is to push the bars from the front keeping the bike nicely balanced of course and steering as required to turn. When I first saw this it looked impressive and seemed difficult to master but the BMW sales staff use this technique throughout the day even on heavy GS/RT/K1600 machines. It has the advantage of keeping a narrow profile, looking where you are going and avoiding tripping over customers.
    This is for the more experienced and needs practise but is fast and clearly works!

    You just used the perfect motorcycle as an example, because that’s exactly my bike and having problem pushing it inside my garage. So I bought a jack with wheels, so I could rotate it easily. 😄 I’m gonna practice what you just showed in the video. Thank you!

    Walking around the bike exercise is great.
    I’m going to practice that.
    Another is to lean your bike on your hip when you push it around. This helps keep the bike leaned towards you. That way if it leaves your hip you can pull it back in before it leans too far away from you. I’ve seen many people drop their bike then it leans away from them too far.

    Oh my gosh Eddie, I have an 800 pound Street Glide. 😮 I guess I could practice having it lean against me, and me lean against it for starters with my husband watching. It’s not like we have not picked it up before.

    Great video! I think this is one of the many little things people don't practice as it doesn't really "feel" like a learned skill. Yet... I've seen riders ask for assistance in pushing their bikes into a parking spot or just to turn around... on flat ground! This is definitely something that should be practiced. Kudos to you!

    It's ridiculous that in America people are able to ride bikes like this without even being able to walk with it.

      Nothing in my videos have anything to do with what America does or does not allow riders to do or not do.

Do you not understand this?

      Maybe I could have worded it differently. I just think its ridiciculous that people can get a motorcycle licsence that easy in america without proper(in my opninion) training.

      Plus, each state doesn't always have the same course either. Here in CA the course to take is what I teach...other states have different courses.
      You don't know what is involved in getting your license because you never took the course. When you come to CA and take the MTC (which is what the courses is called here in CA), then you'll have an opinion based on your experience. Many people who think they can ride can't even pass it.

    Going faster will not "make your bike lean more". You háve to go faster if you want to lean more.. to counter gravity.. right?
    You did not have Monica practice this..it seems a rather advanced exercise? If you get it wrong you will drop your bike or destroy your back 🙈
    Nice video! In Netherlands you learn to walk your bike .. it's part of the exam. Forward and backward, park it.. put it on a centre stand. 😊

    Dude, this was great to watch. I generally push my bike out of my garage using your two hand method one on left handlebar one on rear rack (Africa Twin adv sport). I have never tried to back it up that way back *into* the garage...only ever "walked" it back while always on it. I'll work on some of these exercises in the coming weeks! That tight turn you did was frickin' intense! I don't think I'd trust myself with that yet.

    Isn't it ALOT harder to push the bike around while in gear? With my bike for example (an KTM 1190) and the bike in 1-st it is significantly harder to push, I always switch to neutral first. You are right about the lack of "stopping" power when maneouvering it in neutral though.

    I didn't want to post this, cause I feel stupid, but someone might learn from my dumbass. I changed exhaust on mt07. while it was strapped to the trailer. i was excited to take it off the trailer when I was done. It wasn't my driveway. I didn't pay attention to the right to left slope. I had on flip flops. I have a rule, never move the bike wearing flip flops, but I have unloaded a million times. I broke the rule. Perfect storm. flip flop caught on trailer and broke (not the cheap ones with the plug either), slope of driveway caught the bike slipped outa my hands i fell, bike fell. new rule, always make a note of the slope, never EVER move my bike wearin' flip flops. Good news, I replaced the damaged part for $40. whew...

    That deeper lean is scaring the p$$ out of me. I get from your other videos that the momentum when you're on it is whats gonna prevent the bike from falling, but how does this work when all you have from it are two arms, and your push? are you actively sliding it during the lean? Like rolling a ball that you shouldnt stop or else itll drop?

I am in a campground on the second level and I have to turn into my driveway which is stones and still on a slope. Once I get it in the driveway on the level and I park it then I am afraid to move it to get it turned around the right way to be able to go ride.
