Totally the wrong way to lift these wonderful beasts up. They are designed to be lifted using the handle bar as a lever and then walking into the bike. Very easy to pick up once you know how. Keep a constant momentum through the mud if possible and don't rev it too high as it has plenty of torque. Sitting or standing depends on your own preference. They are heavy but experience will help. Have fun and get dirty!!!

Nice laugh.

The 1200 is too serious for serious offroad, but I think the rider would have kept it upright if he had longer legs. Bike is probably too big for him. There are better ways to pick a dropped bike as has already been explained. Brave post! :-)

Who is this guy. He does good coming thur the mud pit, but then stops. The Gs is a great handeling bike and takes the beating. Someone call the doctor, he now has a

"busted gut". If you are going to ride the world, learn how to ride before you leave home. Great example of what not to do. See the world, ride Gs. One country at a time, j
