Very good tips and techniques on picking up a heavy motorcycle. Now, if the 70-year-old guy can do this I’m sure most younger people can also benefit from these tips.

This technique is geared toward the rider who “drops” the motorcycle, as many new riders are apt to do at a stop sign or some other slow-speed maneuver. Even an experienced rider may drop the bike now and then, and with a heavy cruiser, this technique makes all the difference in the world.

Ouch! That adrenaline rush will make you do things without thinking (I gotta get this bike up!). Especially when it’s not yours! Grippy boots will avoid the problem next time, and make sure your front wheel is straight when you stop (square the handlebars).
