@13RuffRyder Not if the kickstand side is on the ground, which it is in this video.

Then falls backward ontop of the bike..

@BoReD2HaRd Just ride it with no clutch. Much easier to do on a bike than in a car but very do-able in both.

@GolferGray wow lol um you open the kickstand first and them lift the bike onto the stand....

@therising1 well said my man

Not to rag on her because this method does work to pick up a dropped or tipped bike but to save yourself 1) time and 2) embarrasment you should get a firm grip and the handlebars from the inside (the side of the bike she was on) and pull up as you roll the bike forward. It will lift up quite easily and saves your legs and back. I've done this a hundred times while dirtbiking after screwing up my knee.
Then again I dropped my bike flying of a trail dodging a 750cc quad at full speed...

@BoReD2HaRd I got lucky when I dumped mine. The clutch only got bent forward lol.

It's a BMW R1200ST. Tina is currently president of BMW Bikers of Metropolitan Washington (BMWBMW). She did the demonstration at the club's annual Square Route Rally, near Thurmont, MD. Following Tina's advice, one of the members who is a great grandmother (really!) picked up her BMW R1100RS on the second try using this technique.
