If you end up with your feet going out from underneath you from pushing; it'll dump you back down HARD, on top of the side of the bike!

Ouch..!!
the only big bike I picked up was my wing after an unfortunate encounter with a pothole. That was the only way with several broken ribs but the case savers did make it a lot easier. Only difference is once upright turn and let it down on the side stand..jmo...

Works every time. This is the way Harley teaches new riders. I saw the same demo at the IMS last year. The MSC teaches it too.

I went out to the garage and knocked my Spyder over. Then I called the girl in the video. She refused to come over and set it back up. She had a real bad attitude about the whole thing. Methinks she should Ryde more.

That is the proper technique
That is the best way to do it. I have picked up my Wing this way once and my Venture 3 times. The Venture is as heavy as a Wing but for a few pounds. I'm 160 lbs. It is much easier if picking it up if the side stand is on the opposite side. Otherwise I liked to have someone there to support it so you don't go too far and dump it the other way. Visit the Venture riders site or a Wing site and this is what you will see demonstrated as the proper technique. If you have never done it you will be amazed at how much easier it is.

Hi Winger,
Re: You don't dare let it go past midpoint, but then if it does, you get to pick it up on the easy side!
But then both sides match.
