Picking up a fallen bike

[gazza]

Saw this on the Advrider forum. Can't remember seeing this on our site so could possibly go in the links section ??? Not sure if this is the correct section to put it in but someone will move it if need be. Picking up a fallen bike.

looks like she's bracing herself for a good crap, then along comes a crowd, so she pretends to be picking up the bike - which had fallen over ages ago - the owner went off to get help.

Yup, used that method meself - find it easier than the 'turned handlbars' method. Hardest part is finding summat that the hand nearest to the front of the bike can grasp.

i used that method once - hid behind a hedge - lucky there was no crowd either.

I used the 'Fu*'@AAAAaaaaa' Method recently.

Came off bike, no problems but tried to look cool as passing cars flying past. So:

Faced bike, Right hand on right handlebar.....And then use ALL your power from Upper body with back slightly curved to lift bike the few inches required to...And this is the most important part

Stick beer gut up against fuel tank, resting there for a few more seconds to get breath back, then heave it up again…do this a few times, to get visor nicely steamed up, swear a bit and hopefully some other bloke will come alone and help
Shake hands, say thanks, control your breathing trying not to show other person you have nearly had a bloody heart attack (you can always suck in the atmosphere once on your way!)

And there you have it.

Will post new procedure once I have perfected it. just off to have a Fag.
