Great technique s

85 and still love riding my old Road King a couple times a week. Bought new in 2004 and have over 108,000 miles on it. Will try that handlebar trick to pick it up. ( Luckily I haven’t dropped it in years.)I trained years ago with a motor cop and also Jerry Palidinos’ instructions. The way they taught works, but after using that way I found that by pressing my butt sideways against the seat, it broke the metal tab away from the plastic bottom of the seat.

Thanks for the video. I'm a new Rider on the Ultra Classic 2007 it's my heaviest bike I dropped it 4 times at full stop, twice in my driveway stopped. I accidentally dropped it by applying the front brake with the handlebars full stop left turn. Bad move. Which I finally learned. After our 1400 miles road trip to New Orleans last week. Also dropped it at a stop sign on Bourbon Street New Orleans when my foot slipped on a manhole cover. And I tapped the front brake. Down it went again. Luckily I had two other riders with me and walkers by to help left it and get it on the jiffy stand. I'm 69 years old that was my first operating experience what the Ultra Classic. Frank was with me a 76-year-old US Marine Vietnam vets. He let me lead the pack into New Orleans and out of New Orleans over 360 me travel that day. 🤓😎 All three riders US military combat veterans, I was the youngest Rider at 69 years old.. Me US Air Force boom boom. Moral of the story lesson learned. Do not apply the front brake at a stop with handlebars turned against the locks.. keep the handlebars centered when applying the front brake at a stop.🤓😎

Excellent demonstration

Paul had the same thought about using a sizzer jack wondering if it would work and then I found your video. Thank you for making it and explaining how you modified it for a big bike. I have dropped my 2024 Road Glide twice parking it heaviest bike I have ever owned love it but its heavy. Been riding for over forty years just turned 68.

Awesome, thanks for the training video. The orange bike looks like a switchback. Where did the rear crash bars come from?

Awesome tutorial and explanation thanks 🤙🏽

Wifey dumped a dyna. I did this. But being in a hurry. Guess who forgot the jiffy stand? Me!! I almost dumped it going to the left side. 😂😂

The best tutorial of how to pick up your heavy motorcycle, THANK YOU

Thank you, I am also 75 and this will help, I have had it lay down in the dirt it was a good thing someone came along to help.

My 400 lb BMW-G310-GS fell over in the stone driveway today. First drop in over 25 years. The bike was beyond laying horizontaly flat. No way to get under any part of it. Took me 3 hrs to get it back up, and this was under the most ideal circumstances. I'll be looking to downsize immediately. Not worth that much of a risk at my age.

Tjank you.

Thank you Paul. Great advice. I appreciate it. I've been riding many years and this is the first time my bikes laying on its side. It's a little embarrassing but what the hel. Thank you.

I never thought it would happen to me. I was wrong. Now I'm alone and need some pointers on how tol get it back upright. The kickstand gave out I guess. I came outside only told see it on its side.

I just got a Kawasaki concourse 14. Used, the garage it was in was packed with other MCs and scooters, trying to maneuver she laid down slow…. The guy I bought it from was useless due to a knee injury. Using the “Harley” technique I got it up solo. I’m 5’5 and 60yr female. I’m fairly active though…💪🏼💪🏼

Paul, I have 2 Road Glides and it happened to me in a slow turn twice (highly embarrassing). FIrst-time some walked right in front of my bike in a turn and I hit brake. I tried the Harley technique and it didn't work for me. I believe Harley says to put your seat in the saddle and use your legs in small steps to right the bike. God bless, thank you for video

Very handy info .I hope not to need to do it if I drop my 800lbs Fat Boy .( I am 82 )

Greetings from Taos, headed to AZ Bike week next week! Love the idea, thx for sharing. 👍

Im 75 and same boat with a heavy 23 road glide...good video and instructions

You talk way too much for such a simple subject.

CAREUD TPMS is there to keep you safe

Another thing to keep in mind: "It's ALL in the Head". Specifically: There's NO need to feel 'embarrassed' or like "everybody saw what happened & thinks I'm a Noob"...because what's done is DONE. Clear your head, don't worry about whatever anyone-else is thinking. Even if anybody IS watching you, the MAIn-priority (assuming no-one nearby is gushing-blood ?) is getting your bike upright, and on it's center or side-stand again. If nobody is offering to help you, screw 'em. They can think whatever they like...FOCUS on the BIKE.

Thank you Paul

Nice job brother! God bless

Paul Chadwick = for your consideration, picking up a heavy bike. ua-cam.com/video/BNDkyZHfFS4/v-deo.html&pp=ygUzYmUgdGhlIGJvc3Mgb2YgeW91ciBtb3RvcmN5Y2xlIHBpY2tpbmcgdXAgeW91ciBiaWtl

Good idea. I noticed once you brought the bike back to the jiffy stand after the HD technique the highway peg was back at the jack height. Therefore you should be able to straddle the bike stand it up as if it was on the jiffy stand with the jack fully extended. This would be a more controlled lift instead of standing on one leg holding the bike weight kicking at the jiffy stand with your heal. Just a thought. Good video!

Thank you sir, that was the tip I needed. Set my Ultra down on gravel, and no technique was working to get it up. Finally strained my back, gave up and waited for help. Not just embarrassing, but very annoying time wise. That little jack is going in the tour pac straight away, and I will likely do the same mod to make it more secure. Thanks again.

Paul, I watched your video today, 8 yrs after you first published it. At 69, I found it very informative. Thank you very much. I hope that you and your family are doing well. I like to think that you’re still riding. Thanks again!

Just payed my down in a parking lot that was on a angle. Tried to get it up and no cigar! Someone ended up helping me. When I got home this video helped me with what to do in case it ever happens again. I’m also a senior so this was epic. Thanks a million

Very useful - thank you so much!

Nicely done but it doesn't help me. I'm 78 and just bought a Royal Enfield 650 twin. It weighs 217 kg . I've dropped it twice, once at a servo and yesterday after a long ride. in the driveway when I got home put the side down and didn't realize it wasn't down correctly, both times I have had to get someone to help me lift it. I have front crash bars but the bike lays perfectly horizontal to the ground with both wheels off the ground as well, so it's a straight lift. Where I went to was out to my old block, way out of town and no one around. If it had happened out there I would have been sunk.

I saw a UA-cam video of a woman who weighed no more than 115 lbs pick up her bagger. She used the harley method you showed. I have since learned, to grab the gas tank with my right hand instead of the handlebar grip.

Love it! Accidents happen. I can't pick up my Ultra Limited by myself. Now with scissor jack I should be able to get it up! Thank you!

When the wheels quit turning no matter the speed it's going down, you here people say I had to lay it down when the car pulled out in front of me when you hit the breaks hard your not going to keep the bike upright. Break hard enough to lock the wheels up your going down real quick.

These big Harley's aren't for me, although my brother is on his 3rd. I'm a Honda Super 4 /400 & 1300 bloke but the tips here are the best from experience and it shows. It could be said Motorcyclists are the modern Environmentalists, food for thought. Cheers from Brisbane, Australia. :)

Un hombre muy inteligente!,gracias amigo. A very intelligent Man,thank you friend

I don't like the two hands in the handlebar technique. It can easily hurt your back.

I managed to lift my CVO Electraglide quite easily with the Harley technique, but I'm young and quite a large guy. This is a great idea for riders who can't lift their machine for any physical reason. The problem is if the bike pins you to the ground.

Very nice presentation/demonstration! Once you had the big bike jacked up it may have been safest to straddle the bike to get it vertical so that it could not fall over to the right. I presently have a BMW R1150GS that is too tall for me. I am bound to drop it eventually at a stop or turn around. I am trying to sell it before that happens lol. I am 67 and not as strong a biker as I used to be. Time for shorter and lighter motorcycles in my life.

Thank you for this video. I am 71 years old and just had a hip replaced and can't lift my switchback by myself. The scissor jack idea works perfectly.

Great job! Thanks for the tips!

I don’t even use my kickstand anymore to be honest. I just gently lay it down everywhere

Old man no one likes that bike we love Dirt bikes sport bikes

Now hes 76 years old

THANK YOU FOR ALL THE TIPS ON A A DROPED BIKE !! GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER KEEP RIDING!!😃😃😃

Good info to know 👍 👌 😀

Something all with you Harley riders should know with your bikes being on the ground more than most.

Ok, this guy was a bronze medalist in the late 80's Olympic Power Lifting Division.

When I was a young guy... there was only the Sportster and the Electra Glide. I went from a Honda 50 to a HD 74, in one step. When you are 15 years old, you can do stuff, at least in Pauly and my generation. I cannot think of any good reason why a boy born in 2005 would not have the same potential that we had back in... the other century. At 70, I have to be a little careful and I accept offers of assistance without hesitation. I give offers of assistance, without hesitation.

Thank you. At 160# getting my Honda Goldwing back up is a challenge. Love your idea on the modified scissor jack.
