    Lola,

    I thought one of the biggest things the HD Ladies Garage Night did was demonstrating this technique that lucky posted. I am rather surprised they neglected something so important. ... And whats up girl? Beers and Swords????

    grab a shovel and just keep digging around the cycle till the cycle falls falls in the hole and lands on its wheels..

    dam when I was in the middle of A1A and all the bad ass bikers went around after watching me get hit by the car, I should have gotten that jackhammer out of the saddle bag and tried that method Jonsey, now I know why I was toting that thing around LOL! have a great one "T"

    Of Course..........There is another way...lol...


    Add a SRYMec to each side of the bike.....then should it ever be down on either side all you would have to do is press a button on the remote control and the bike stands itself up...of course...


    It would make the bike a little tiny bit heavier, .... just a little bit.....lol.....

    Man, I can't believe I just dropped my bike again in the garage. Getting ready for our ride to Arizona tomorrow and was checking the tire pressure. I rolled the bike forward a foot or so to get access to the valve stem... the stand went up without me realizing it, and I set the bike down on the floor.

    I have now dropped my bike IN MY GARAGE more in the past month than I have in my life. Not sure if old age is making me forgetful or stupid!!!

    But hey, I'm getting real good at picking it up

    LOL Lucky
    you have my sympathy at least,done it once n realized dont want to do that ever agin,my bike is heavier than a wet pile of cement n hard as heck to git back up.
    The only thing I can think is maybe put a string around your finger when your in the garage ?? hehe maybe tie it to the kickstand ?? hey whatever works rite?? LOL good luck with that !!

    That was a great video. Tried doing it in the snow and it was a no go due to no traction. But now I have two methods to try! Thanks!!
