Thanks Eddie. I just finish putting frame bobbins on my 2015 CBR1000RA so I it took a deep breath, rolled it out on the lawn, laid it down (carefully) and picked it up. Both sides. It worked just as you demonstrated. I am 68.
Nigel Hewitt Awesome! Good on ya!
Happy 69th birthday
I'd love to see your video with the CBR1000RR. I just tried with bike down on the LEFT. First, there is no access to set it in gear. So, when I lifted, the rear wheels turns and bike moves away.
@@ArtyYeo no access to gear emergency use front brake it might help
@@ArtyYeoblock the front brake lever with belt , rubber, handkerchief, or anything
These videos are gems and don't get nearly enough recognition or praise. Thanks a lot Eddie.
Johny40Se7en You’re welcome!! Slowly, more people will be able to benefit as more people share :)
spot on, great video. Thanks Eddie
@@MotoJitsu ur videos are really very help full.... Huge respect from INDIA 🇮🇳 ❤️!!!!
These tips came in handy, as I was practicing very low-speed turns today and dropped the bike from almost standstill. The engine and handguards came in handy! Shame that there were a few people that saw the whole thing :'D The only thing hurt was my pride.
Lesson learned for sure! I hope you got right back up and tried it again...best way to learn sometimes.
Yup. I tried it a few times once I got the bike up again. Need to be more confident with the clutch/throttle combo and counter-balancing. Your videos give some real good tips about what to practise.
First year rider and I've been bingeing on RUclips's videos to find effective practice methods to make me a better rider. Fast Eddie your great; super informative and concise. I love that you body language is exaggerated so it's easy to see the physical aspects of techniques. By far the best videos out there. Keep them coming!
Thank you so much & You're welcome! Please share with others!
Man I’ve watched so many videos about picking up bikes but no one has explained things in details like you did. Thanks for all the tips
You’re welcome:)
This is like watching a BJJ escape from the ground. This is an escape (to pick up a fallen motorcycle) from the ground
Another outstanding video. As a 90 pound female rider, I like to practice doing this. When I go to practice MotoJitsu drills on an empty parking lot, I normally also like to lay my bike down and practice lifting it up following Fast Eddie's steps here, just to be prepared should I fall on the road. I've been able to successfully lift my bike up each time following these steps. My bike is almost 3 times my weight. I also invested in crash bars for my brand new bike as suggested here. They were costly, but I've already fell twice and although the exhaust was scratched and the shift lever was bent, the fairings, which were my main concern, have been completely untouched. Thank you very much Fast Eddie for all the tips & amazing videos! Keep up the exceptional work!
You're welcome!!
Dude this video saved my ass this morning! Just had to come here and say thanks! I was practicing on a CBR250 for the first time all by myself in a parking lot and I dropped it. But I remembered all your steps especially the one about putting the kickstand down since it fell on the opposite side. Your channel is awesome, every beginner should subscribe to you.
Thank you so much Juan!! Keep practicing!
You're the best! I was actually sitting here feeling smug and thinking "yeah, but what if it falls on the other side..." and then you said "Just put the kickstand down before you lift it" and you just destroyed me LOL! Respect! I will never doubt you again, oh wise one
hahahahaha
something that MSF should teach. I've been through 2 msf course and neither demonstrated this.
Probably because they don't know how to do or demonstrate it...but now you know! Share with your riding buddies!
Probably because there's no point in showing it on such small bikes. For bikes of the type usually used in those classes, you wouldn't be using this technique. You'd make sure that it's off and in gear and then just lift the bike up by the handle bars.
The 250cc bikes are light enough that you're not going to do any damage lifting the bike by its handle bars. They only weight like 400# tops and you're only lifting a fraction of that.
They even told us to make no attempt to pick up a bike if it fell during the class.
@@SmallSpoonBrigade dry weight of a rebel 250 is still about 330lbs. My girlfriend is 5' like 98lbs. She'd still have trouble with that.
@@Stitchy_fun12 Old comment, but just for the people who find this comment later on and such... dry weight of a rebel is only 308lbs, wet weight is 330lbs.
Legs are a very strong part of the body, lift with your legs and it will be fine.
T-Rex makes engine guards with integrated sliders. I also have the matching T-Rex front and rear axle sliders. I only bought the axle sliders so the bike doesn't touch the ground at all.
Highly recommend the set to anyone.
sweet
This is the BEST video on the subject. All the videos I've seen are with Harleys.
I dropped .y bike and panicked! This was before I bought all the slider gear.
Walking backwards saved my ass.
:)
MotoJitsu.com for my new app, books, merch, etc.
Terrific well demonstrated technique ... thanks!
You're welcome!
I appreciate and learn so much from your videos. It's been many years since I've ridden so they are helping me with practicing and feeling more confident for the class I'll be taking to get my license. You are so precise in the way you teach and it's great that you say things several times as it really helps me remember. "Body, head, bike"! Thank you!
Glad to help!
Excellent! Great advice not to panic. Another video advises tying the front brake lever pulled to also avoid rolling. I carry a Velcro strap on the handlebars.
Great line "Your bike, your responsibility" Thanks again for the lesson.
👍🏼👍🏼
So good to know! I weigh 128lbs and my bike is 380lbs. I would be in panic mode if I dropped my bike while I was in the road. I lift for a hobby, but there’s no way I would be able to pull it up by myself. This is such a great tip and painless. No straining your back if you do it properly!
thanks
Great advice. I hurt my left leg trying to hold up a 590 plus bike when it tip over on a an incline stop. Let it fall! Ugh. Wish I’d seen this vid before.
You da man FE!
Hey Eddie. Just discovered your channel a few weeks ago. Keep up the great work. Very informative.
The only thing I would suggest about this video is that the first thing you do if your bike goes down is to turn the ignition off if it hasnt stalled.
Even if it has stalled, turn the key all the way off. That way no silly things happen as you try and lift it.
I've seen newbie trail riders try and pick up their bikes with the rear wheel still spinning. It never ends well.
Adrenalin ... a friend when used correctly 😁😁.
Cheers from Oz.
You're the 3rd one who said that so far! lol If there are people out there trying to pick up a bike while it's running...there's no hope! hahahha if the bike is in gear...when it drops, you'll let the clutch out and it'll die anyway. I also didn't say inhale or exhale so maybe there are people out there holding their breath because I didn't say to breathe! lol jk...yes, bike off.
2nd reply to the same question......lol, I need to get a life, I promise I wont look for the 3rd.....
I was out practicing in local parking lots yesterday. Slow speed stuff. U turns, figure eights, tight turns from standing and a little e braking and dropped the GSA. Sobering. Text book motojitsu recovery however thanks to this vid. I gotta work on alternating my down foot at stops. I’m a left foot down guy 95% of the time. That needs to change. I also don’t like my boots. Very hard to feel the rear brake lever and the toe box is too big. (Alpinestar Belize Drystar) So much to think about and practice. It’s gotta be fluid. There is not enough time in the moment to think AND act. It’s gotta just happen. Thanks for what you’re doing. I love the channel.
thanks!! Keep at it :)
MotoJitsu.com/com for my new app, books, merch, etc.
You're the man, Eddie. Very good tutorial! I especially liked the part around the pick up itself and how to deal with the situation mentally 1:43 - 2:10
Exactly!
Dropped my bike today as I was making a very sharp right turn from the dead stop. Wish I knew the technique before, as I wasn't able to lift up the bike. One of the guys stopped by and helped me.
Thank you Eddie
You're welcome!
After watching many videos of MotoJitsu and being a new rider, I decided to go for my first practice at an empty parking slot. I am so glad I watched this video first and I knew how to pick up my Freewind when I dropped it, I would still be there trying.
Awesome!! :)
I’ve been looking for bike tuition videos and yours are head and shoulders the best. Not the funniest, not the most entertaining, but definitely the best. Many thanks.
Thank you for making such informative and common sense videos - I love your channel...
I'm a total street newb, and yeah, I dropped my NT 650 yesterday while attempting a u-turn from a dead stop. At least I wasn't out on a busy street... Keep posting, and thanks again for what you do. ✌️🌮🖤.
You're welcome! :)
The technique you used works well with my 900# Goldwing but the real challenge is picking up my 500# '75 CB550F. When it is laying on the ground the seat is in contact with the ground, even with crash bars on the front of the bike. Your BMW and the Goldwing lay about at a 30 degree angle making the lift demonstrated easy. I am looking for a technique that works with top heavy bikes that lay 5 degrees or less off the ground.
Whenever anyone says "That's easy on your bike, but my bike..." or any form of that, I'm sorry but I just roll my eyes. The bike doesn't matter for anything I do. I have done the same things on Harley's, Sportbikes, naked bikes, my bike, Goldwings, choppers, etc.
I once was with a guy who dropped his bike in the parking lot. He looked at me and said, "Can you help?" I said, "Yes, but best that I not." He was pissed, but I explained that there is not always another person around so it would be better if I instructed him on how to do it so he experienced how easy it is to do. He did it fine on the second try. He didn't thank me for the lesson, but he'll thank me someday.
lol awesome!
Sad just how many people want everything done for them... instead of being taught. Good on you for teaching him. Thank you.
Defining Moments Consulting - Paul Heagen this is the same “give a fish” vs “teach to fish” philosophy. You were wise not to help.
Weird, I would have been so thankful if someone showed me, it shows they actually care.
Dropped my new bike on my slippery driveway yesterday and I couldn’t move the thing , luckily a driver saw me scratching my head
And stopped to help me , still bloody heavy though ! Wish I’d seen this video yesterday . Thanks for all the tips you’ve given me , I’m going
to try out counter steering tomorrow . Haven’t ridden in 30 years and I’m a bit rusty in more ways than one ! Again Thank you from Australia .
you're welcome :)
Yup, it happened last week. Turning out of my garage, wasn’t awake, lost it! I remembered this vid and it worked (with some help). I’m busy with the U turns still!….. getting there. Thank you a million!
welcome! keep at it.
I’ ve been riding bikes for 32 years. I watched one of your videos to laugh at you and give silly comments. This is the second one i watch, still not laughing or giving silly comments. Now i am going to watch all the rest and learn from you. THANKS for all !
Over 300 to go through my friend...I suggest watching this one first :)ruclips.net/video/GadMrq01Eno/видео.html
MotoJitsu one down 😉. Really glad i found your channel. It tought me that no matter how old you are or how much experience you have, you can still learn from others. Thank you again for making time to help other bikers👍
Thanks for this one. I recently dropped my 450lbs bike while practicing slow speed circles.
Picked up the bike just like that within a minute and continued with the exercise.
The event added just minor scratches to the bike and my ego. (:
More practice sessions each week!
That was brilliant.
You've helped many.
Thanks bro.
You're welcome! Share so others can benefit too!
Great demonstration and advice. I dropped my 1992 Suzuki Bandit many years ago in a parking lot. Hurt my pride but I managed to pick up the bike by myself with a similar technique.
👍🏼
Thanks for all the vids and the time you put in for our education and safety, Eddie. Greetings from Athens, Greece!
Paris Amerikanos Awesome!! You’re very welcome!
I would have never thought to put it in gear or to put the kickstand down on the right side. This is wonderful instruction! Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Got my bike today and dropped it today itself but got help in picking it up. Thanks for the vid man.
You’re welcome :)
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I was once in a situation where the bike fell on my foot. I was pinned under the bike. Took a good five minutes to wriggle myself free, and I did exactly what you described here, with an injured ankle. Yes, this is how it’s done!
Dang! That isn't good...technique first!
Hey thanks a lot man, the craziest thing happened, I watched this Video last night..(having no idea how to pick a bike up) very informative...this morning I was moving my bike and it fell for the first time ever dropped a bike, luckily I caught it and landed easy..but if I didn’t see this video LAST NIGHT it would still be on the ground!!, you give the best info on the web on motorcycles, thanks.
mark hardman What good timing! Lol
There is another way that I have discovered to pick up a heavy bike. I find it’s the easiest (for me) but maybe it can be helpful. Same rules apply with the kickstand, if it’s facing upward deploy it before you try this, if downward it will be part of the process. Put your right hand on the grip nearest the ground, your left hand on the grip pointing up, then straightening your back literally walk the bike up.. just walk towards the bike while putting pressure on the grip your left hand is on. Remember to deploy the kickstand if the bike fell that way part way up, then just set it on the stand, otherwise, just walk the bike to it’s already deployed kickstand. The bike will go up with surprisingly minimal effort! …That being said, I’m not trying to contradict Eddie or postulate a “better” way, this is just another way that has worked for me. Thank you Eddie for making these videos, you have taught me a great deal!
One month ago I got injured just because as a stupid I tried to keep my bike instead of letting it go. So stupid of me!
No bars but I have been lucky no damage. I was as lucky as it but after 20 days now I am back on. If had seen this video before... but you know.. now I met you and I can practice.
By the way I am going to have my engine protectors and handle bars installed next week.
Cheers from Italy
Max
Awesome Max!
Thanks for demonstrating the techniques. I'm in the same age range of Nigel so any techniques and demonstrations are greatly appreciated.
I like how informative and down-to-earth your videos are. Good stuff!
Thanks! Just my iPhone and a parking lot! lol
Watched a few videos on picking up a bike; this one is the best! Especially appreciated him showing how to raise the bike when it falls on the side with the side stand. Congrats on a great video!
Thanks!
You deserve more subscribers man! Great videos ang explanation as always!
I appreciate that!
Hey if your bike falls down to the left while in neutral and you can’t access the shifter, tie the front brake lever down hard with something. I had to use my sock once, but it’s always worth it. I carry 2 zip ties in my jacket just in case.
that'd help :)
I work on and customize my own classic bikes so, to be honest, there are 101 reasons I carry zip ties to help get me home lol!
A good addition to this is to exhale when lifting the bike.
Thanks! Share with others MotoJitsu.com
Thank you! I think I asked for this, and you're really fast. And well structured as always. And by the way, congrats for over 7k - keep growing!
You're welcome!! More to come today!!
Without doubt, this is by far the most useful and best bike channel I have found on youtube. Slowly working my way through the videos. 👍
Thanks!
Great demo - Others forgot to say ‘put the bike in gear if it is in neutral’ !! Well done.
thanks :)
I'm a new rider and I will remember this advice for sure. Thank you
You’re welcome!
I come to put a thumb up as I just dropped my bike today (to the right side), and I tried exactly how you demonstrated and it worked! :) maybe I should practice more on picking up, but great instructions!
Thanks
More excellent advice. Thanks Eddie. Just one thing, if there is luggage on the bike remove it if you can before lifting.
That may be helpful...my friend has all 3 cases in the back and lifts it just fine!
The best part start here: 05:30. Another amazing video, if only English was my mother´s tongue so I could fully describe how much I admire your work because you are really at a totally different level than the others with your "How to.." videos. You could easily start a new series "How to shoot a proper "How to" video" .
thanks
Hey Dude. I applauded. I actually went out and took my bike off the center stand. The first time was a struggle I thought I was gonna drop it. Today it rolled off .
Also,, working on the lifting on to stand .
Thanx man
You're welcome!
Great video! I definitely think I should invest in some "crash bars," lol! I'm a new rider and I've dropped it twice... once in my yard on grass when I first got it and was practicing slow maneuvering (didn't hurt the bike) and another time recently when I turned too quickly at a stop sign, turning right, and the bike ended up on my foot. Thank goodness, I didn't break any bones, but I ended up with a contusion on my foot. I've got a BMW F800, so not too heavy of a bike but it definitely happens. Going straight is no problem but slow turns from a stop are tricky for me and make me nervous. I've watched a ton of your videos - you're the best out there!
Thanks 😊
I just got a 1989 Honda pacific coast and layed it down in my driveway lol thanks to your video I got it back up no issues
That was an awesome example, this will come in handy for a lot of new riders who happen to buy a big motorcycle as their first bike
Thanks! Share it with others who may find it helpful :) MotoJitsu.com for my new app, books, merch, etc.!!!
Hi Moto Jitsu, thank you so much for showing & demonstrating how to lift a heavy motorcycle up,thank you friend 🙂🙂🙂
you're welcome!
This is good advice, but if you're dealing with a small displacement bike, there's no harm in picking it up by the handlebars. And probably a bit easier as you've got more leverage like that.
Probably :)
2 things - your cylinders don't allow it to go all the way over to the ground :)
And the B.M.W. school they say to turn the bars full to the right in the case of your video. Then the front tire actually is a lever - then pull up on the end of the left bar as in your case and up they are supposed to go.
Yup, many different versions out there...this is the one that makes the most sense to me and I've done the same technique on every bike you can imagine. I don't know anyone else who would let me put their bike on the ground to demonstrate...maybe you can with your bike?
I have an Africa Twin with all 3 parts of the Altrider crash bar system. But I dread the day it goes over :(
If it's protected, then no big deal.
The crash bars can get scratched up too.
But I dread trying to get it back up to vertical.
2 days after I bought it [ before the crash bars got installed ] I rode it up a very long steep gravel covered forest road. The stupid traction control started to cut in and caused me to slow then finally stall. So over it went. It was lying facing up the hill. I could not move it. Some guy in a jeep came by and the 2 of us managed to get it upright. I managed to turn it facing downhill and away I went back. I have never been back to that hill even thought I want to.
I have the crash bars now / added one extra tooth to the rear sprocket / one less tooth on the front sprocket / and I shut off the traction control every time I start the engine now. Every time / what a useless feature in my opinion.
The point of crash bars isn't to keep them pretty and clean...isn't is better to scratch those than the bike? Who cares if the CRASH bars get scratched? lol...Up hill and bikes go down, that's why do a K-turn...read Gary LaPlantte's book How to Ride Off Road Motorcycles.
In my 70's and still riding my Kawa 900. Tanks from Rio, Brazil.
:)
Great video, great demonstration, maybe your best! and best all relevent intro to what you have to offer. Guy who took me for CBT, basic motorcycle training in the UK, and full license training said "Who drops motorcycles? ......Answer: People who ride motorcycles! You learn by pushing your skills, how you gonna learn if you wont risk dropping your bike. will share. Thanks Eddie.
Thanks!
I started riding yesterday, dropped the bike due to the bike stalling mid-turn on an awkward curving hill at a stop sign. I somehow instantly remembered what a co-worker told me months ago, who only told me once and quickly, and I tried it. It was this, and it worked. I'm not even physically strong. I have a Ninja 400 which everyone keeps telling me is lightweight, it's heavy as hell for me, but this tactic still worked getting it back up both times (dropped it an hour ago trying to practice and figure out how to turn).
Thanks for the work you put in these videos mate (I was applauding at home).
Hahahaha thank you....and You're welcome! Please share with others!
Excellent video, demonstration, and instructions. I've practiced this method with my 2012 GL1800.
Thank you!! Sweet bike!
Seen this demo a couple of times, but got “lots” of experience while participating as a student in an intermediate riding course. I learned that I had a lot more to learn, but got awfully proficient at picking up the motorcycle, My worry was about picking up the bike from the left side as i was afraid it would go over center to the right side but learned that just putting down the kickstand once the bike was high enough was the way to go
That'll do it!
welp, next purchase is frame sliders and bar protectors :) a couple days after i got my cbr600rr home, i was sitting on it, then i kinda bounced it a bit to see what the suspension was like and it started to go over to the right, past center and got to feel the full weight of the little sucker! i saved it but she's no joke, 440lbs and I'm only about 150lbs, tall and skinny lol.
Just the best english-speaking channel to get new knowledges. Thank you!
You're welcome!
What can I say say Eddie; but thanks Dude. I was testing out my bike and kit on a small tour in the UK to practice for a bigger tour into Europe next year. Anyway, I got back to the campsite in the dark, when I put my bike on the stand it fell over to the left..... Fuck! I thought!... However; I had watched this video some two days before and it all just kicked in. I clamped the front brake, turned around, put my ass into the seat with the handlebar tight against the tank and picked it up; a bit slippy underfoot because of the wet grass, but it worked! I can personally testify that this is the best way to pull your bike up off the ground. Cool! MozZ ;-)
Awesome! Glad you found it to work for you!
Excellent video and the teaching is simple and remarkable ! Thank you from Lebanon 🇱🇧
Good information man! Thanks for the Tutor on this, This is something they didn't show during the MSF course I took.
You're welcome! The course can't show you everything, plus it would be a liability to have students do it.
lol yup Greg Myers
Thankyou for being a useful resource, my cousin's husband explained this to me, first time riding my index finger got caught between the throttle and front brake lever, even with the rear brake i still ended up grassed (Not high speed, came out from a stop to quickly trying to go left). Needless to say it was kind of difficult to lift back up beings i was on a slight incline and the bike was strown across a small divit, got up once, stepped in the divit, fell back down but got up again using this method, little harder when not on pavement i should add. All in all its good to have somebody visually represent it because i had a difficult time finding positioning to lift from.
You even helped me figure out how to do slow speed tight and wide turns as well as figure 8's with some of your other videos and tips. I've only been riding a few days and already feel pretty prepared for the physical drivers test because of you. Subscriber fruitfully earned.
Perfect tips for picking up motorcycle. Use your legs and not your back. Keeping your back as straight as possible. Smart, very smart!!!
thanks!
Good simple video...you talk nice and slow and go in steps...outlining how to analyze and each step to make it easier to pick up the bike. You kind of draw a picture of the steps that you have to do....to do it correctly. Chiropractors can be expensive...whoa nellie. Thanks and great job~~ ;-)
thanks!
Thanks for watching ❤️ MotoJitsu.com for my App, Books, Merch, Discounts, etc. 👍🏼
This is the best instructional video out there! I wish I had watched it a few years ago when I dropped my Sportster in the driveway....from a standstill.....while I was sitting on it. Very embarrassing. I was sitting on it, waiting for it to warm up, when I thought it would be a good idea to lean WAY OVER to the right to look at something on the side of the bike. This tilted the bike to the left and it SLOWLY went down as I was saying, "Oh no. oh no, oh no". This should have been on America's Funniest Video's. I looked just like Charlie Brown after the tree ate his kite.
Thanks for the video!
Thanks! Glad you liked it :)
Just dropped mine but on the non kickstand side... didn't feel confident getting on the tall bike but was fortunate enough to be able to reach with my hand to get the kick stand down.
I wish I had watched this yesterday! Dropped my new Triumph explorer on a muddy road and lost composure etc luckily a cyclist helped me up with it.
As you say here- should have laughed about it but I let it get to me😡 ruined my day. Now I reflect on it , no big deal ! Broken lens on indicator that’s all.
Lesson learned- watch all Eddie’s videos 😀
Lesson learned is right :)
I am 37 and started learning bike eight month's back. Your videos have helped me lot because mostly I am self learned rider. Lots of love ❤
AJAY kumar
From India.
Another excellent presentation 👍
I'll be practicing this (on a piece of old carpet outside the garage 😉) when I get my new GS 1250, which does have all the crash bars fitted! All good confidence building stuff. Thanks.
nice!
yep, never say never. Todays practice was smoothness and turning at intersection corners that have new loose stones specifically at the corner egdes. turning without leaning. 👍
You basically described a modified version of deadlifts. Bikes are not only fun to ride, but they can help with physical fitness!
Exactly! lol
Fantastic advice. Keep the videos coming. These are priceless specially for new riders like me. Thank you
You're welcome! Please consider sharing with others!
I put my V Stromo down& up at will: once I learned the 2 Hands method on both grips (Aruba Elite Police style) , just hold the bars with opposite hands and push it up. Adventure Bikes may lay below horizontal, I hurt my legs pulling just the Seat and Rail and had to learn better, peace3ed
Hey Eddie. I been riding for almost 50 years, and that's the only time I've seen how to pick up a bike PROPERLY. Everyone has their own ideas etc, but this was great. No more dodgy back for a week after picking your bike up after an embarrassing slip on gravel when you stop. One question. How do you put your bike in gear if it is dropped on the left (gear lever) side? My sport bike (GSX-R750) seems to lean much further over if it's on its side, and I guess the only way to put it into gear might be to approach it from the upper side and reach under.
Thanks! I would just put something behind the rear tire so it won’t roll when picking it up but I still pick it up the same way.
Maybe if I had crash guards I could lift my bike. I tried for 3 hours to no avail. Cb500 is too low to the ground and too hard to get any leverage. I will get the guards. That is very good advice. Jumping off is also good advice. Good video.
I’m really impressed how Eddie can make everything so logical and sequential.
Thanks :)
Thank you MotoJitsu! You are the best teacher on RUclips!
Wow, thanks!
@@MotoJitsu It is true! I learn from your videos how I can stay safe and make the thinks good! Tks!
Fast Eddie, you just hit another one out of the park. Thanks soooo much for your great videos. You should have 100,000 subs. at least!!!
Help out by sharing!! Thank you!
But... another technique is, like the way you lay down your bike in the opposite way. Well. In that case you could break the front wheel with some cord, rope or anything else to hold the break lever. And you grab the handle bars and your bike will go up easy as you laid it down. But make sure you don't stand on gravel, snow, ice, what ever that is slippery. Put the sand and what ever it is there away, and then you bring your bike back upwards.
I saw that on some videos from clinton smout. It is also easy as your way. BUT that technique with the handle bars is only for bars like your bike. Not that with "race-M-Bars" - you don't get the leverage to push.
But great video. Maybe you'll show that technique in some videos too.
Greetings from austria. Really great video though.
Yes, I've seen many variations of how to do this...this is the one I found myself to do the most and easiest to understand and practice with no other people or equipment.
I'm now almost looking forward to the next time I drop my bike so I can try it your way.
Lol
Great demonstration; thank you so much 💪🏻 🔥 🏍 gonna practice this for sure!
You’re welcome 😊
Lots of people saying ‘ I’m a newbie and I dropped my bike’. Well, I’ve been riding for forty years and I dropped my bike yesterday in a parking lot so it never goes away - bad luck, poor judgement, brain in neutral, whatever. Good part, there was no one around. Bad part I had to pick it up by myself. First time I’ve ever had to use this method........and it worked a beaut!! It did take a while to collect myself and relax enough to get it together and remember what to do. Good idea to have a practise session with a friend standing by and a bit of old carpet under the bike. But I’ll know next time, cos there will be a next time..........
Or you're just attempting some challenging drills and sometimes that's the results. :) Always good to know how to pick it up
Many thanks Eddie. A great tutorial.
thanks :)

Excellent no-nonsense video. Thanks. I'd suggest pairing this video with your video instructing how to make u-turns and doing slow speed exercises. It is very easy to kill the engine while using the clutch at idle speed.
Thanks! For some it may be...I do one handed u-turns on all kinds of bikes and never stall it.
@@MotoJitsu Thanks for your reply. I have a great deal of respect for the advice you give in your videos.
You're welcome! I reply to everyone that I know about...sometimes messages don't get notified to me. You're very welcome! :)

Way you go, good refreshing info. Yeah! Had dropped my bike few times.
Thanks
I carry a short piece of rope in my saddle bag and use it to tie down the front brake lever . Then I have both the front and rear wheels locked .

That is how I usually pick up my Vstrom 1000 also and usually there is no problem even using just picking up on the bars technique when I do not have much equipment/stuff on board and I ride enough off road that it takes a nap regularly. PLUS we always have those oops moments even on pavement, etc. I have soft bags, crash bars/brush guards, and small pouch bags on my upper crash bars that keep the bike up at an angle very well. Only when I was in frozen mud here in December did I have an issue since every move just slid either the bike or me. PLUS I was exhausted from a whole day of tactical training way back off the beaten path. Some guys from the training were in 4x4s and helped me, which was great, but I always plan on doing it myself. I would have just taken a little time to rest up, secure the wheels (I always carry a mini shovel in my gear to either dig me out from under the bike or just make a little trench so the tires bite and para cord to lock my front brake) and then did this. Im going on 60 myself and always plan on being alone!!! I have been riding for over 40 years mostly off road and MX when younger so used to "down time".
I DO like that my bike does NOT leak gas from the tank (or other places like my 72 Kawa 175 Enduro did) so the "Oh Jeez theres gonna be a fire" thing no longer occurs. Help is never turned away and always appreciated though!!! So to all stay strong, stay safe, live each day as an adventure. See you out there somewhere! GREAT VIDEO(s) my friend!!! I enjoy each of them!
Thank you so much :)
