How to pick up a fallen motorcycle

Bonnie say should get here from the PETA motorcycle closures is going to demonstrate how to properly pick up a large motorcycle alright so honey here you want thank you and a beautiful morning the first thing I'm going to do though and I'll pass my cloth to Mike honey what I will do is actually shown how to upright a motorcycle this is a big bike I have a medium grade that's sometimes when people you know into big bikes they find it really difficult to get them standing up and there's a simple little technique I'm going to show it to you before we have two guys put down my bike I'm going to hand the mic over but I have a pretty big voice believe it or not and so I'll speak without the mic that this comment is that a little white and it looks like this one thing about riding a motorcycle is you want to be cool I mean let's be honest go out what you do is are sitting here all you need to do is straight my wheel turn it a little bit or take my left hand put it underneath my tank and just give it a little portion with my left hand and look what happens it's that easy straight up kickstand up I'm ready to roll and this is nothing else this is about impound bike so if you're riding a big bike and you're always trying to get it up tilt your wheel give it a little push with your left hand that's it easy easy squeazy I'm something else comes back to come up and lower my bike to me push it over block yes being there Donna oh maybe you guys can handle out one girl in three guys now one thing about a tip over is if you feel the bike is starting to go do not try to hold it that is a 900-pound bike and I'm going to do it what's going to happen the floor of our floorboard is going to go on your Shandra on your leg you're going down with the bike we're brokenly okay so what do you what do you do how the bike is going you try and step away from the bike okay just step away let it go it's going to go down gently it's a tip over all right and at that point most of the guys Adrenaline's going what do you do grab the personal the first thing you do is you look at anybody see them so that's your first thing that anybody see that oh my god take a deep breath relax is what's happening your Adrenaline's going you're going to pick up the vine you're going to go throw it over to the other side alright make sure the bike is in gear it's turned off and I'll show you the proper way of picking it all right there's nothing that you know this around your bike that might be of danger or if you're hanging okay oh no don't try to pick it up the other thing as Mike said is you're going to come around you're gonna make sure that your bike is in gear it's couple of reasons it stops it from rolling and less - pizza I'm not going to have to worry about a handgrip to keep the frame on it same here it's longer to roll away on me the other thing you're going to do is I came around you're going to put kickstand down because what you don't want to do is come all the way around watching so you don't want to go there the other thing is that kind of bike that you're riding I have a little tie strap here I don't need on my bike if I have not rails and I can hang on to but some bikes you actually might want to take and keep this trough like this in your saddlebag all you do is you hook it around something long loop it around and then you just use it to help you to leverage your bike up so this is a really handy dandy thing to have but I don't really need it for my bike so what's important about lifting up this bike is probably a little more than 900 pounds I'm a woman and I like to fill up the truck so what's a cord about this is that I'm actually not going to use my god um and then actually uh I'm going to be using my legs to be able to do the lifting for me so what you want to do is you want to get your butt sitting in the seat comfortably get your legs out in front of you then you're going to find somewhere to hang on to for me it's my hat my rail right here and my how the bars and then all I'm going to do is I'm going to take little baby steps back what's important is that while this is not a bit of an angle I did it last year um I sure hope my purse free when you multiply like just you know you got it now this is the unnerving preps I know what thank you stand out but I just can't always work except yeah whoo good job when I first started to do it when I bought this box around my driveway I put down some bath mats it's funny would look up and I had my breakfast down and then in practiced because there's nothing worse than being alone and something happens and your stuffs so uh do practices it's easy it's about technique there's like a lot of great videos on YouTube
