I have to say I never expected that I would drop my bike, but I did. I just arrived back at work from getting new saddle bags put on my bike. As I was getting off of my bike my boot got stuck on the new saddle bag and of course I ended up dropping my bike. I was completely embarrassed considering I work with a bunch of men who happened to be outside at the time. I even had to ask them to help me pick up my 650lb motorcycle. After they gave me my new nick-name, crash, I spent the rest of that afternoon looking for ways to redeem myself. Now I can truly say I know how to pick up my bike without help from anyone.
I spent over an hour looking for ways to pick up a dropped motorcycle and finally came across an amazing website. The lady who created the website, Skert, is an amazing individual. She has dedicated her website to the fight against breast cancer and helping individuals learn how to pick up their dropped motorcycle. She posted on her website a step by step guide on how to pick up your motorcycle and even has a short video of her in action. After all if a 5'3" 118lb woman can pick up a 600lb motorcycle, a 5'6" bigger gal like myself could pick one up as well.
I immediately went outside, slowly laid my bike down and practiced her steps. I was amazed. Within 30 seconds I had my motorcycle back on two wheels.
