In this video, I discuss and demonstrate another alternative for picking up a dropped motorcycle that in my opinion, takes less effort and is definitely easier on the back.
You may be asking yourself, what are PRELOADERS?
PRELOADERS:
Subscribers to this channel who are dedicated to being proficient in slow speed motorcycle operation.
What does PRELOAD mean?
PRELOAD:
Engaging the throttle to raise the RPM’s (revolutions per minute) above idle and holding the throttle there, with the clutch pulled in (no power to the rear wheel, “in reserve” “PRELOADED”). This process will make power to the rear wheel available to the rider immediately when the clutch is opened up. There’s no need for the rider to be concerned with twisting the throttle for power because it’s already PRELOADED.

AT 13:21 - you collapse your arms. Correct way - Keep the arms straight, your back upright and drive through the hips. I was taught to do it that way over 30 years ago by some old timers in a biker gang. I never knew what the technique was called but that's how I've always done it. I didn't know it was some kind of well kept secret. Whenever, I've done it, people looked at me like I was the Incredible Hulk but I explained to them that it's just body leverage. Which was easy for me to understand because that's what we were taught in Aikido martial arts class. I taught a 5'2" 103 pound woman to do it with a full dresser. It's especially effective for when the ground is sandy or slippery or when it's raining. You don't slip or lose control. It's the best method in my opinion. Very safe!
Yep body leverage entirely. You're basically using your torso as a giant breaker bar. On Violet though, just because of how wide she is with that front fender, it's probably more difficult to keep both arms straight. However, the pushing arm should be kept straight at all times. Makes sense. I'm def going to give it a try, although my bike is light for a cruiser (560 lbs), but I've been using the "Harley lay an egg" lifting method.
Thank you very much! When I looked at it I saw what I did wrong. 👍🏾
P
Mistake.
Robert picked up Blaze slightly different on the right versus left. At 8:40, It was RH push plus LH pull vs Right leg back. AT 10:48, upper body reversed but lower body remains with right leg back. I assume Robert is right leg dominated thus the same stance on both sides. That means there is some difference in body angles and leverages against the bike at right versus left. May be every person is different but I wonder if one stance is easier than the other in practice? I could use every oz of help as my Ultra wins every time when I test the conventional method. Thanks for the great video and comments.
Rob, this technique shows you that no matter how long or good you are about motorcycles. You can still learn something that you would never think of. You are the man. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely Dave! We are ALWAYS learning!
It’s my pleasure. 😊
Rob ,
I used that similar technique in your traing #25
Learning never ends.
100%.
Hi Rob. I tipped my bike two days ago - I forgot I put the kickstand up, got sidetracked taking video while sitting in the saddle. I was about to get off, the bike leaned and went down while I held it best as I could. I was on a serious hill, cars passing by, and I remembered this video. I had practiced it a couple of times right after watching your video a year ago. I just did as you did here, and voila! The bike was up in no time, and my back was in top health. Thanks again for this!
That’s awesome! I’m glad you remembered the video and that it helped!👍🏾
Sweet Husband, wow-I am impressed! This also solves the mystery of my missing rugs😉💋.
So much love for you sweetheart!😘
😂😅😂👍🏾💯
I love you both

Holy crap! This worked for me! I tipped my bike over in the garage while rolling it to a new spot. There was no way the walk backwards method was going to work with the angle the bike was laying.
Can't believe how straight forward and safe this method is.

Thanks!😆
This is amazing over 40years of bike riding now this turns up. Glad I tuned in.

Those crash bars really help too! The bike is lifted a little bit above ground so that definitely gives you an edge!
Rob, I just recently discovered your channel and want you to know how much I appreciate all of the valuable information that your sharing with the motorcycle community.

Hi Robert, I tried picking up my bike like this today and couldn't believe how easy it was. I ride a 2016 Road King and Im 60 years old. I will say to anyone who tries picking up there bike like this , Definitely make sure the bike is in gear. My first time trying it I was in neutral and ended up going around in a circle in my garage.

Lol.. 😂. I did the circle thing too in my garage.. after cursing like a sailor, now I know it must be in gear to lift the bike up.. lol 😂.. and I’m 66 and obviously’a slow learner’.. lol
Hi Rob, I’m a 58 year old woman who just started riding a year ago. I have a RE meteor 350 and my husband, who has been riding 5 yrs has a HD RK. I learn so much from your channel and look forward to your new content. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You are immensely appreciated.

Rob, this method is awesome! I never liked the “seated- method”, especially for those of us with bad knees and and an aging back. Definitely need to practice this technique as soon as possible. Thanks again for what you do!
Thank you very much! It’s my pleasure. 😊
@@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle please post similar videos as you perfect your newly learned technique!
Mr Mac….I lost attention backing my 21 Goldwing Tour down my small ramp…looking at my fool barn cat…being a fool and …plop…down she went….I’m no spring chicken and am so skinny I have to run around in the shower to get wet…and lifting that big girl was WAY easier for me! Never woulda thought of using that leverage till @Robert Simmons - Paying It Forward shared it with 🇺🇸
I have tried the seat method. I'm 67 years old and my right leg is a prosthesis so driving the bike up with my legs isn't going to happen. I saw the video of the Aruba police standing the bikes up with this method. It also helps if you rock the bike down on the engine and bag guards then drive the bike up on the rock back. I ride an electra glide classic. She's heavy. I need all the help I can get.
2:00....AWESOME SKILLS!!! Miss seeing those Crown Vics in the city.
Right on good luck, I just picked up an 08 Ultra classic Electra glide and that’s why I’m here. Bless it when it happened the garage doors were shut
I dropped my ultra classic while making a u-turn on a uphill street. So the bike was on left side and wheels uphill and seat downhill. Gas leaked out of the overflow tube and street became slick with oily residue. Alone on a road trip and no one around I thought I would never get that bike up. I love my bike but at 72 that experience had me thinking about moving to a Road King. I am now a little worried about riding my Smoky Mtn in the the evenings as I’ve had to u-turn due to a bear in the road before. I guess I should practice on hills but just seems too dicey.
Wow. Thank you for the tip. At 69 I’m sure it will come in handy, but I hope later rather than sooner. Thanks again from a new subscriber
How do I avoid getting stuck under it
Thank you for explaining to Violet and Angel that you had their best interest in mind!
Thanks for posting this method Robert, I dropped my Ultra twice this year (forgetting the kickstand) and tried the other method and both times my knees just wanted to explode and had to get someone to help as I just couldn't walk back. I purposely put my ultra down this week to test this method and OMG I was able to do it this way without any issues and its super easy.

Excellent lesson! When I had a BMW GS I watched a BMW instructor pick his big 1200 GS up almost the same. He laid it down on the right side and grabbed the right grip with both hands and just picked it up, then did the same on the other side. He was about 5'7-8 and not a weight lifter type. Even the narrator was impressed. The secret is that front tire acts as a lever--I think that's what happens. I like your method better.

Rob, Like a rookie, and I'm 69, and no rookie at much, even recovering from a car accident broken back in 2004, I didn't properly set the jiffy stand on my 950 lb Road King after pulling it into my garage. You, and all of your viewers, know what was next. My foot dodged a bullet. What I want you to know is, you helped me pick my bike up today. The best part is, other than no injuries, no one saw it happen! I was so embarrassed that I couldn't even come in the house and tell my wife. I may take the incident to my grave. Bottom line is, you taught me a skill. Seriously, Many Thanks, Chuck in GA.
It’s my pleasure brother. Nothing to be embarrassed about at all. Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed!👍🏾😊
We all do this , forget the jiffy stand or kick stand! It usually happens in the garage! Don't feel to embarrassed!
News flash! You just told EVERYONE!
Brilliant David.
Wow! Robert! First, dropping my bike and then having to pick it up is one of my slight concerns. This is such a great way to pick my Harley up! So happy I found your very positive channel! Also, you don't look old enough to have been in the dept for all those years! Really enjoyed the video and much respect for your professional but casual and positive approach. So needed! 💗

It’s my pleasure Curtis.
I'm 67 and I recently had to get my buddy next door to help me pick up my ultra limited after the kickstand folded when I moved it forward a touch. My back problem just wouldn't allow me to pick it up. After seeing this I'm not worried if I happen to get in that situation again. Thanks for showing this technique. Now I'm a subscriber.

Understanding your weight-management is a bonus too.
Robert, this is my first time watching one of your videos. Your motorcycle riding skills you displayed in the intro video were nothing short of perfection. Very impressive. Also, thank you for showing us another way of picking up our motorcycles. If I ever need to , I will definitely try this method.
Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed!👍🏾😊 Also, thank you for the compliment! It’s my pleasure. 😊

Rob, I just bought an Ultra Ltd. My biggest fear is managing her weight. I don’t see many advance riding courses to teach me the slow risings techniques I need. However, this video, like a few others are a huge help. I tipped by brand new bike on day 1. If there is a next time, I will know what my options are . Now I need to practice these techniques asap. Wish you were in ZA teaching us.
Blessings for paying it forward Sir.

Good to see you’re using the emergency flashers that is definitely one of the steps as well. “Step #1. Turn On Your Emergency Flashers.”
They actually come on automatically
@@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle Oh!
I'm glad you made a video of this technique. Dropped my challenge while practicing today. So much easier.
Glad it helped!
Simmons i just want to point out that you help me a lot with this video as i watch you pull the road King out from your garage.
I noticed as you pulled out you didn't waste any time putting your left leg up on the floorboards and also I noticed you using the rear brake to control the speed coming out along with the throttle and of course controlling the friction zone help me to really understand how it works for proper slow maneuvers.
Have a friend who's been riding for quite some time going forward at least over 25 miles an hour and i try to explain to him as he and i practice our slow maneuvers at the local park as he questioned me using the rear brake and a throttle will be working against each other i told him he didn't understand that's controlling the bike i appreciate this video giving it two thumbs up and i am forwarding this video to my friend ASAP ! ! !
🗨️👍😎👍
That’s awesome! Sometimes it amazes me what people notice and I’m glad you noticed this even though it wasn’t what the video is about. However I do purposely include these kind of things in my videos because you never know what Preloaders might notice. This is a perfect example of that.
And what you’re telling your friend is absolutely right. Hopefully they listen to you. Also, hopefully they will subscribe to the channel. 😁👍🏾
Good job, Robert - I've seen the Aruba PD technique before and you executed it beautifully. Thanks!
Thank you very much! It’s my pleasure. 😊
I'm going to practice that tomorrow.
Dropped my bike today. My neighbor helped but it actually made it harder.
Thanks
It’s my pleasure. 😊
I've always used the handlebar method to pick up my bikes. I learned that 38 years ago.
Haha WOW! You sure did make that look easy! I'd try it but I don't really want to lay that 950 pound Roadmaster down if I don't have to! But then you did it on Blaze. Now I have the thinking cloud above my head haha! Thanks for sharing!
😆 My pleasure
Hey Boss, thank you for your positive attitude,motivation and encouragement. I appreciate all the knowledge you are giving!!

Thanks Robert. This is why I watch and subscribe to a veteran instructor! I just taught a class this weekend and could have used this new technique. I hope to come practice with you soon.
It’s my pleasure Mike. Thank you very much! Let me know when you have the opportunity to try this.
This is really helpful. Now I have multiple options to lift my RGL, in the event it gets dropped. Thanks for the tip! 👊🏾

Thank you for this video. This is one of my fears, that I would drop the bike and not be able to pick it up. This should be a big confidence builder.
It’s my pleasure. 😊
This is a really great tip, thanks so much. It definitely makes more sense to me than doing it the more-typical way, as the full-squat position just isn't able to generate as much power as a more-extended position (and certainly not in my case, with a Dyna that lays lower over than a bagger...). Good stuff!
Thank you very much! It’s my pleasure. 😊
What a neat technique. I really appreciate this information. My knees are pretty messed up so anything I can do to avoid putting extra pressure on them is great.
It’s my pleasure. 😊 Thank you very much for further supporting my channel by becoming a V.I.Preloader! It’s really appreciated!
Hay I'm 74 years old had covid been weak ever since then and your system works for me I have 05 Electra-Glide thank you!!

No lie! Today I was practicing tight left & right turns from a stop and I dropped my Indian Chief. My brother rushed over to help and I was like "I got this.. 💪🦵" Used this technique, and bamm! Got it on the first try! It was the first time I ever dropped the bike and first time using this method. So glad I watched this video a couple days before 🤞
Wow that’s amazing!!👍🏾
Cool video and technique to pick up the bike, thank you! My brother got me bag guards for my RGS for my birthday. It’s something I wouldn’t buy for myself but now I installed them and the bike looks right. Very grateful for the teachers out there. You’re right, each one teach one. We all get stronger together.
Thank you very much! Absolutely!
I just got started riding and I was out practicing some slow speed turns today after seeing this video and several others by you and I dropped my bike. I used this method and got it up piece of cake.

This was good. Thank you!
A friend of mine who has ridden big Harleys for over 50 years demonstrated yet another method that is amazing. It involves bumping the starter to do most of the lifting. I never would have believed it if I hadn't seen it done.
Thank you. It’s my pleasure. 😊
I saw a video about the police guy picking up a victory vision. These bikes had a guards plate on it that kept it from going very far down an made it a lot easier to get up . They don’t make the bike now but looked like they could put that on all heavy bikes . I even heard that police that had the bikes practiced in emergencies not putting kick stand down jump off an jump back on an ride the victory back if . ? I’m 78 wish they still made that victory vision . I think the vision was only bike they put that on?
This is crazy , ima certainly try this one when the inevitable happens 😁, thanks for the video Robert 👍🏽
No way!!! That is cool.
I’m goin go push my buddies bike over and try this. 😂

Hi Robert. I curently have a 2010 GL1800 Goldwing (luxury edition), usually ride 2 up (with my Queen/Wife of 43 years on board) and pull a trailer. Been riding various bikes now for some 50 years (yes started very young hahaha!). Back in '84 I won an around Australia competition called the NEWTS Run (North, East, West + South around Oz). From a very young age (as a kid & teen) I always employed the technique you demonstrated here for a dropped bike (right on left, left on right bars, walk through bike), just made sense to me. Great that you shared this with the world - well done! Never knew that many riders did not know this. Anyway, just came across your videos and realised that as I haven't dropped a bike since 1984, I should go get some carpet cutoffs and practice. Also love your low speed vids and yes I concur - keep revs up and feel the takeup zone of the clutch and moderate it with the rear brake. Great work mate, subscribed from here in Australia !

Put my Ultra Classic on it's side yesterday and tried this method. It worked really well. I did probably muscle it a little bit more than I should have and didn't use perfect technique, which just shows how well this works. Even without perfect technique it was still easy. Only thing I found was when the bike is down on the kickstand side, once you get it up, it feels awkward because your arms are kind of crossed and you have to hold it while getting the kickstand out.
Good for you. This is why you see me picking everyone’s motorcycle up during my Practice Session videos. I’m practicing it.
The pick-up method is a game changer, Captain. I'm heading to the parking lot today and will practice it, both sides. I haven't dropped my newly acquired Harley yet but I've had very limited time to practice since I bought it due to weather here in north Ga. and other factors. BTW, I have to say, that Road King is a great looking bike. How many bikes do you have?
Thank you very much! 4
I could never do the standard pick up with my Heritage, but this was so easy, even for a 63-year-old woman. Thanks for everything you do, Robert!

Ahhhh! Jenny this is good to know! I have not as yet been able to pick up my street glide. Maybe I do not have myself low enough in the seat. I hope it is not any time soon, but if it happens again. I will give this method a shot. 🙂
Hey Rob the thumbnail on this video made me think… not another bike tip-over pick up video by a large fellow. But I’m so glad I clicked on this video and learned a new trick to pick up my bike. Im a short guy who loves road kings and I ride one now. I was able to do the ‘traditional’ way one time and I’m so glad it worked. But another time biked tipped over again and my legs were tired that day from a leg workout earlier. I couldn’t execute the ‘traditional’ way. I actually did a similar pose like this new trick you shown because of my desperation to get the bike up. But now that you demonstrated the correct way to do this I am very glad and grateful you made this video! I hope I can practice with you one of these days. I love the pay it forward thinking you promote. I’m subscribed now and please keep the videos coming! More power to you and your channel

Hopefully this technique will stop the handle bars from bending when you pick the bike up. The old way always found the bar you were lifting on bent.
Rob, that is crazy! If this happen I’m trying this! Thanks for tip. I’m getting an saddleman seat how is yours so far? Are you still loving it????
It’s my pleasure. 😊 No complaints regarding the seat. 👍🏾
Thank you thank you.
So far my Road King has drop on me twice.
I had helped to left the bike.

Interesting. You call this dropping your bike, I might suggest sir, it is not. It is at a 45 degree angle resting on the highway pegs.
Dropping your bike is it completely on its side, not on highway pegs. I say this only because I watched a 55 year old little lady...Lady, have her husband lay their fully dressed Ultra Limited, loaded with gear, on a hard rubber mat, completely on its side. In the demonstration, she showed how to get the bike up onto its wheels all by herself. I was surprised to say the least.
I do not own a Harley yet, DAD (GOD) says it coming. Until then, I have you, Ryan Urlacher, and Traveling Tall to learn from. An expert, no I am not. But, your bikes are beautiful, and I realize you have a lot of money tied up in them. Yet, from way to many years working emergency services, seeing to many bikes laid down, hit, run over, by careless people, of just plain not paying attention on the part of the rider, picking one up, off it's side is not easy. Also, the older you get, the harder it is to pick it up. Weight x Mass x age=???
I mean you sir no, No, disrespect. Just the opposite. I would love to see you and Wood Jr. show us how to get these big bikes up on their wheels after laying on their sides (could Cross who rides with Wood Jr. pick his up off its side?)
Again Sir, No disrespect meant.
Yours in Christ Jesus;

It’s a drop nonetheless. I didn’t sense any disrespect from your comment. Getting the motorcycle back onto the underside of the engine guard is a lot easier than uprighting it. Of course this all depends on the kind of motorcycle.
Having dropped an Indian chieftain rental and rented touring Harley’s, I can say the majority, if not all, have engine guards. None of these bikes usually never go further down than 40-45 degrees
@@gfunk63901 agreed.
Another Great Video! Been binge watching your channel. Can even say I’m a beginner because I still haven’t bought my 1st motorcycle! Just watching to see what I need to learn in the parking lots before I even go on the street. Keep up the great work.
Thank you very much!
I just saw your channel for the first time! Great info in a good down to earth format. I have been riding/teaching for 50 years and 30 yrs as a cop so naturally I cant bend any more. I teach these lifts since even at my age I do a lot of ADV back country riding solo on a fully loaded bike, especially on the BDRs as an Ambassador. As known, if you ride off road you WILL drop your bike regularly. My cross over from street riders take a while to get used to that. Its no big deal. You just dont want to hurt yourself doing it so practice is key. You do a great job showing from experience you will drop your bike and really good ways to lift. Keep doing what you do my friend and hopefully our paths will cross out there. Stay safe in all your travels!

Thank you so much Robert for all you do to help us Pre loaders. This video was very helpful to me. I live in ponchatoula Louisiana and I would love to come and practice with you one day, it would be my pleasure.
It’s my pleasure. 😊 I look forward to it.
wow...thank you so much. Wish I lived closer to you. Watching you do those cone turn is quite amazing. Thanks for all you do.
It’s my pleasure. 😊 Thank you very much! Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed!👍🏾😊
Man thank you for your video your video is the first I could find on picking up my Ultra Glide when it falls on the left side. I'm 80 years old so you're video really helped
You have reinforced so much of what I already knew, but have shown me how much better I could ride with training.. I WANT TO BE ABLE TO RIDE LIKE THAT!
👍🏾
I love the fact that a guy who looks like he plays middle linebacker on Sundays says "it's so easy, I can't believe it ". Fortunately I've never dropped my bike (yet) when I'm alone.
Having said that I'm gonna go over to a friends house and try this on a couple of our non-bagger bikes
😂😂😂😂
Sorry, i had to play this video twice. To busy loving your lawn. I'm a lawn lover. Great job with it. Also learned a lot and love all of your vids. Please keep them coming.
Thank you very much! 😂
That's Crazy! I have a bad back and struggle with getting low enough. I can't wait to try this. Thank You Sir, for all you do and have done.
It’s my pleasure. 😊
One of the most informative tip over videos I've ever seen well made indeed thank you.
It’s my pleasure. 😊
Robert, Thanks for sharing your expertise. I love your videos, discovered them about a year ago. I bought an older model GL1800 and I am not very confident slow riding the bike. Wish I was closer to your area but I'm on the west coast.
It’s my pleasure. 😊 Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed!👍🏾😊 I wish you were closer as well.

I love those lights that you have on blaze....And another educational video once again. Thanks Rob
Thank you very much! It’s my pleasure. 😊 And I apologize. That was Violet not Blaze.
Really good info and instruction. And really cool how you've learned a better way of doing something after years of another way. Then passing it forward as well. Great video👍🏾

You're very welcome. And yes I did Sir 👌🏾
Thank you, sir. Great information. I hope to use the Aruba technique next time I drop my Road Glide.
It’s my pleasure. 😊
Hahah....as soon as I saw the way he rode that bike out of the garage like a boss, I thought "this guy has to be a motorcycle cop or something!" I can usually tell how "seasoned" a rider is just by watching them do a slow turn, their form, their confidence, control of the bike...
A solid channel and info you have here, sir! Kudos!
Thank you very much! Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed to my UA-cam channel!👍🏾😊 ua-cam.com/users/BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle
I knew about the one way to pick it up but the new one you showed looks better and one I hadn't heard of. Thanks again for such a tip.

I just discovered your channel. I learned a lot from Jerry Palladino after seeing him decades ago at a State H.O.G. rally. I don't know how I heard about you, but someone mentioned your videos, so I finally looked you up.
It's interesting this is the first video I've watched and already have been introduced to a new method of picking up a motorcycle. I doubt I'll rush out and try it on my own bike (unless I have to) but during the season I usually get plenty of opportunities to pick up someone's bike. I've got a 38" inseam so getting low enough to pick up a heavy bike has always been a struggle. This does look like the perfect technique for someone tall.

Hello from Kentucky. I really appreciate your videos with the how to’s. Thanks for the tips.
Hi. It’s my pleasure. 😊
Love your videos, I have learned so much from you Rob. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much! It’s my pleasure. 😊
Excellent video. I never would have thought of this method of lifting a fallen bike. Thanks for sharing this.😊👍
Thank you very much! It’s my pleasure. 😊
This is revolutionary. I've been riding my whole life (69 years old), and this is amazing. Thank you so much.

Violet is just GORGEOUS ! I have an '07 Road King that is white with gold clearcoat and besides my wife there is nothing I'd enjoy looking at more. I have to wash her on cloudy days cause she hurts my eyes on the sunny days. In the sun I swear she's radioactive !
Anyway, your Violet is just so pretty. Second best looking bike on the planet !
PS, I'm watching and enjoying this "rerun" several months after it was produced and still learning.
Thank you very much!
Genuinely a great guy! No I have not met you personally but the positivity in your video's is just awesome! Just like with anything you can never stop learning! Keep up the awesome work. Thoroughly enjoy watching your video's.
Thank you very much Chaz! I really appreciate that!
I HAVE met him in person, and he IS Genuinely, a Great guy!
@@greggdavies8572 Thank you very much brother!
Always good info coming from you. Keep up the good work
Thank you very much!
Cool. Even veterans like you can learn something new sometimes. And, I definitely learned a lot. I don’t ride a heavy cruiser but same technique on my BMW F750GS
Man, love these videos. I'm addicted. Due to some new boots, I didn't have good traction on my soles today and tipped my RKC twice! Once in the garage and again when I arrived at work. Wish I had known about this technique; it would've been far less embarrassing haha. I have engine guards and saddle bag guards but of course mine tipped over both times to the left. Hope my V&H Pro Pipe is okay.

I think finally I may be able to pick up my Goldwing. Only in the last 58 years, I have never dropped my bike but after the heart attack, I was afraid to make the effort and got myself the motorcycle jack, never used. But this technic I will check it out and see if I can do it. I am 68 now and riding my 13th bike since 1972.

Good point about the saddle bag protectors also protecting the bike. I always felt like the back of the bike needed just as much protection as the front and was currently trying to solve that problem. Cheers!
