Crikey - this one got a much bigger response than I expected! I've tried to answer all the comments but there are way more coming in than I can handle - I promise I will read them all but apologise if I haven't responded to your particular note. Thanks for all the kind words and yes I know I should have put the stand down BEFORE I lifted the bike (I realised that the moment I started lifting!!) Cheers all and thanks again!
Hehe - come on, be honest you dropped it on purpose 😜
Didn't realise you owned a drone too - when you have time check out my drone film content and subscribe if you like! 😊
It is a scientific fact that two wheeled vehicles are inherently unstable by design.
I hadn't even thought about putting the stand down before lifting the bike. Makes so much sense - will keep this in mind for when I drop my Royal Enfield...
@@NewYorkCityonTwoWheels yep! Usually becuase of the stress/panic of dropping the bike we forget the basics! Happens to all of us once or twice 😂
" Dad I've bought a motorbike " " I told you ,you can't have one " " I've paid for it now " " Can you ride it? " " Of course " So my 17 year old self tries to kick over a 1956 Royal Enfield but it won't fire. " No problems Dad I'll bump it ". Off I go, jump on the seat let the clutch go, and fall off the other side. " Dad can you lift it off me " " Bloody idiot of a son "...that was 53 years ago and still riding.
Milos Pop 😂
Lol. Thumbs up.
Well there's something you rarely see... Mud on a GS. Sorry I couldn't resist. ;-) Glad you and your bike are well.
I remember the first time I dropped my bike. The moment it happened I looked around to see if anyone was watching 😂
I was 16 pulling a wheelie on my ped in car park with group of people watching still feel the shame !
been there done that on more than a few occasions 😂
Murphy's law states. There is always someone watching when you drop it.
14:00 you’re welcome.
Liking these early morning updates 👍👍👍 (I get them early morning at least).
Glad no damage and you’re ok TMF. I ride in this weather too, don’t know how people can go months without riding.
Respect for posting this one, we’ve all done it and no doubt will again!
Validates what I’ve always said; “There are two groups of motorcyclists, those who HAVE fallen down, and those who WILL fall down”. I truly enjoy your “down to earth” videos 😜. Keep up the good work ! 😃🏍👍
Drone footage was amazing. I nearly did the same thing on my GS a few weeks ago pulling over to take a picture. The mud on side of road was like ice and nearly washed out the front end! Once the mighty GS starts to go down, gravity wins every time!
Any landing you can walk away from is a good one. ;-)
Agreed!
and.........when you can immediately use the GS again, it's an outstanding landing.
A landing is just a controlled crash. :D
And that's exactly why we all should wear our gear no matter short or long the trip is!😁👍
Agreed 100%
That was so stressful!! Every corner I was expecting an off!!! So glad it was just a drop in the mud!!
Well done for keeping it real! 👍 A lot of people would have edited that out! - Excellent pick up technique
That was the good bit Marc! Thanks for watching - TMF
Yeah, like this technique. May have to use it when I eventually drop my Tracer 900 😒
Just a small piece of advice, if you’re picking your bike up from that side (right hand side of the bike) put your side stand (kick stand for the Americans) down so if the bike goes too far from vertical she won’t topple over onto the opposite side. Glad you’re not hurt 🤗
Yes I realised that as soon as I had picked it up!!!
Some of us do refer to it as a side stand. But the Harley riders always make fun of us when we do.
@@TheMissendenFlyer Oh I know, its easy for us all to be experts from the sidelines. It was a lesson I learned myself.. Btw, I'm a GS rider myself (older than yours, a 2010 twin cam) but my son just bought s 2015 GS based on your reviews of other bikes and comparing them with your GS in your clip where you wondered about selling yours.. That was the clincher for him. I love your channel.. When can we expect you and the lads to check out another biker cafe, they've been fantastic videos.
The problem is you don't think, your first thought is to get your P&J but upright again. @@TheMissendenFlyer
@@gdscheiwe01 For them it is a kickstand! :-)
Watching TMF is like putting on a warm, pair of your favourite slippers. Living in a country where everything has turned to chaos because of a bit of snow, it's gratifying to wake up to a video where the star, even upon dropping his pride and joy, simply initiates text book pick up with zero profanity and a chuckle "Jeez that was a bit slippo".
Haha of course TMF's thoughts immediately after a crash go to bike cleaning!
Sure do - glad to say she’s back to her normal self now!
My R1200 GS has a way of bringing me joy and keeping me humble at the same time. I'm glad I'm not alone! Cheers.
Now that's a real bike video, makes me feel better about dropping my new Tiger 1200 after one week!
Every days' a school day!
Michael Neve oh no! If it makes you feel any better I dropped my 3 week old Triumph Sprint RS once. Never come close to dropping all the old hacks I’ve owned but a three week old Trumpet goes down a treat!!
Ouch
I lilke your initial reaction, a chuckle, reminded me of taking my 500 Beemer off road years ago, and right away front wheel begins to push mud and over we went, a surprising laugh and try again, happened again, another chuckle, and get outa there..........even at slow speeds it happens so fast it is just a laugh............
Bike life.. never a dull moment! Last summer at a T junction on a dry day at a standstill bike slowly tips over on the left side no idea what happened or why but down it went, thankfully (ahem) there were loads of cars and people to witness the event and give me a hand to pick it up. New clutch lever was the damage, one VN1500 up for sale was the result. I'm sticking to the lighter stuff, at least I can move the ZZR600 around without feeling like I'm driving a bus. Getting older has its disadvantages.
Thanks so much for posting this vid. Anytime I view a bike drop or crash on TH-cam, it’s always a helpful learning experience on potential accidents to try and avoid. Glad you weren’t hurt and the bike survived unscathed.
Ooops! Brought back memories of my last drop. Very similar speed of decent, departure from bike, damage and scenery. Very different level of profanity though......
Did you let yourself down Mark?
@@TheMissendenFlyer A little bit
Well done TMF. For carrying on with the recording. I wouldn't expect anything less. The professional you are. You are a legend mate.
Thank you David....wow....not been called that before!
Falling off is just part of riding. Riding off road gets you better prepared. In Winter the white ice gets yer; in Summer the green ice gets yer. Don’t forget: all the gear, all the time. PS great drone footage. Many thanks.
Good advice Terry - cheers....
All the gear, all the time. One of the best ways to make sure one has a long motorbike career.
Glad your ok and the BM. Good man for sharing with us as you are human after all!!
Glad to see the drone shot`s are back.
When you put the sidestand down in that soft mud I thought it was going to sink in and the bike fall the other way😄
Nice video as always. Great quick pick up and good technique. My tip, (if you haven’t covered it yet)- turn bars so front wheel is pointing up and set your side stand down before lifting bike, for obvious reasons. Thanks for all your vids.
Glad to see your ok.
Loved the fact you were still vlogging on the way down 😂👌🏼
I know You Tube gold when I see it!!
Great little video. Snow on the ground here today but its inspired me to get my bike out as soon as possible, as I haven't ridden it for about a week. Glad the only harm done was a lot of mud on the bike and well done for showing it. I imagine there's a few vloggers who would have edited that bit out!
...but that was the good bit! :0)
We all have or will drop one at some time, good to see no real damage to you or the bike, wise man picking a nice soft landing spot.
Thanks Harry.....
I hope you're wrong on that (have/will) lol
We all DROP a bike at some stage, usually at 0 mph, we don’t all crash
Glad to see you weren't hurt and the GS only got muddy. Loved the drone footage . You have to be happy with the way your drone flies. Thanks for being honest and sharing the soft fall with us.
Main thing is you didn’t hurt yourself , second thing is you got it on film .. all about the views 😂
You Tube gold Mr F!
Glad it was just a tip over. I did something similar but when the kick stand touched down it sunk into the mud on that side. Not pleasant lifting it up twice.
Earth: "This guy brought street tires to a mud fight. Hold my ale."
Me - 5ft 8 11 stone wet through - Bike - R1150GS with panniers and top box (all full of luggage)and full of fuel - wife on back - location - just outside Hawes on a group ride with the UKGSER chaps some yrs ago - follow some bikes up a single track lane and then stop where the road "was too far away from my legs".......bike went over (god bless Hepco and becker crash bars) - wife jumped off graciously before the GS hit the deck - god knows how but I picked it up on my own - amazing what embarrassment and adrenalin can do!!
Very enjoyable vlog some excellent drone footage... and fair play for leaving your drop in the cut increased your credibility in my eyes...good content for a bloopers video at Christmas... hope you and the bike are ok..
Thanks Adrian - that blooper video is already getting quite big and it's only January!!
Hi TMF! Great video as always. Glad you and the bike were unhurt. Excellent body mechanics on picking up your GS so you did not hurt your back. Drone footage was excellent, thank you for that!
Good on you for not cutting it out, just remember to never say "I can handle it" again 😂😉👍
Ouch! I'm glad you are not hurt. Full credit for having the nerve to post it.
I dropped a Multistrada in the mud at a campsite. More embarrassing than damaging thankfully. It's amazing how little traction our bikes have with street tires on any kind of wet dirt yet still grip well of wet streets.
Yes it is I agree!
👏👏👏👏FairPlay, most if not everyone would have not posted your mishap
👏👏👏
+1 for actually being able to pick up a bike. I remember years ago watching a video of a small woman picking up an absolute beast of a Harley and she was showing that strength doesn’t matter as much as form and technique. But she lifted it the same way you did.
Textbook Demonstration on picking-up a bike. ü
Thanks 👍
Top marks for having the honesty to put the vid up. It would have been so easy to quietly bin that one. Anybody who has been riding for any length time will certainly have had a similar incident. I remember a few years back locking my bike up, a R1200RT which I'd only had a couple weeks, while I watched the Queens Elizabeth, Mary 2 and Victoria on the River Mersey. Muggins forgot to remove the u-lock from the front wheel and promptly tried to ride off. Luckily I was moving off in a straight line and not making a turn so I got away with that one and didn't go down. I've not made that mistake again!
I’ve done that too!
I always feel the longer a bike is on its side for the more damage is done ,ie if you pick it up quickly itll be ok ,obviously a load of rubbish but you catch my drift all the best MP
Yes I entirely agree! Actually I wish I’d taken my time and took some pictures of her on its side - I don’t often see the underside of my bike!
@@TheMissendenFlyer I'm doing a review on the 750 GS today from cw motorcycles and there is ice arround !! Eeek
Doesn't that only apply to carburated bikes? (as in, they choke and you have to "pump" the oil and fuel out by starting and accelerating).
Same applies when you drop any food on the floor, whatever you've dropped will still be edible as long as you obey the three second rule.
Whoops daisy!! Well we know the GS crashes well so you had nothing to worry about there. Brilliant drone shots too and thanks for the mention sir.
....we won't be saying how we know it crashes well though will we? ;0)
That was so QUICK! Sorry mate. At least it was (somewhat) soft ground eh? I imagine that the OCD was the biggest casualty here! Funny you should say that about the Hero 7 quality. I saw the 44T lads Monkey bike video yesterday and their helmet cam footage looked atrocious too. Must be something that Gopro and TH-cam are disagreeing on!
My internets mate, Andy also gives free lessons on bike dropping, btw 😜😂😂 (I'll go now)
You picked it up like a Boss as they say in the USA. I agree about letting it go, best not trying to take the weight on your leg for example, only to end up in casualty! Keep up the great work!
I'm glad it was a low speed get off. I was nervous the whole time you were gonna crash on the road. I would say leave the mud on the bike and get some knobby tires. It'll help that big girl look cool. :-)
Same.. I was hoping it wasn't on the overtakes.
@@ben_dixon yes, I kept thinking someone was gonna pull out in front of him. I should really be compensated for the stress and suffering. I'm thinking a "Mf" t-shirt will help me heal Lol
@@timbarry5080 I agree, I'm a medium please TMF. I don't even normally stress but cos I'd seen the thumbnail and you feel like you know him a bit from watching the vlogs, everytime he did an overtake I was stressing haha.
Nice try Ben....
Glad you and the GS are ok and it was straight forward to pick up. I've dropped several of my bikes over the years and my current Tiger 955i is the only one I couldn’t pick it up without help.
Ouch. Hopefully no scratches. How a about a trip to NZ for MTV. 30 degrees here and dry. 😃😃👍
Love to mate - it’s minus five with snow on the ground now (still thinking about going out on the bike though!)....
Haha. Your an addict..
@@TheMissendenFlyer if you do decide to go out, use the small bike!
You're right about that chalky mud, it's the worst. Glad you and the bike didn't suffer. I made the mistake of trying to stop my VFR going over when I stalled it doing a turn in the road and pulled a tendon, that was in 2006 and it I can still feel it at times.
Best to let it go and pay for any breakages!
If that was me the first thing would be to check that nobody had seen me!
Don’t think I didn’t have a look around for any on lookers!
😁 me too..
And then post it on youtube....😂
Thanks for posting TMF, we have all done it, but most of us try to swipe it under the carpet 😌
Glad both the you and the bike made it out ok 👍😊
Well I thought I should show my riding "skill" - warts an' all!
You can't keep a good man down! Kudos for showing this, glad you're not hurt and I hope you were able to overcome the O.C.D overload what with all that mud everywhere!
Spending time with Bruce has rubbed off on you TMF that familiar yeeeehaa whilst overtaking was uncanny 🤣👍
All I need is a beard and we could be twins!
Good job picking it up , glad you didn’t have any damage. I dropped my Kawasaki z1000st in mud with a passenger on , we both just stud up , no damage but the mud was everywhere lol. The good thing about mud is it does break your bikes fall a bit. 👍🏍😎
Good pick up. We have all done it, at least twice.
The title is full of foreboding, and I watched the entire video sat on the edge of my seat, and when it came, I groaned out loud! Man you were cool under pressure! Another great video.
13.40 thank me later
Bad luck, dropping the bike, but no harm done, I was glad to see. All the same it shakes you up a bit and gives your confidence a knock. Dropped my R1200GS Adventure last MoT leaving the garage. Silly mistake dithering about which way to turn joining the road. Luckily the two guys from New Street Motorcycles saw what had happened and came out and picked the bike up for me. Wrenched my right knee though. No damage to the GS apart from a couple of slight scratches on the engine protection.
Really glad you didn't hurt yourself or the bike. It's amazing how strong you get with a bit of adrenaline. I did this with a gsxr 1000 a few years back after pushing through queuing traffic, I'm just glad I remained anonymous with my blacked out visor lol. Love all your vloggs thanks for all your hard work!!
Well handled Mr Flyer! Glad both yourself and the GS are fine. Thanks for the video.
Cracking winters day for Blighty, lovely.
Glad all is okay and it was soft mud.
Well done picking that up on your own. I dropped a blade on a slippery concrete carpark once and it was a nightmare to get back up, it just kept sliding away every time I tried to lift it. I'm glad you and the bike were ok. I'm introducing my colleague to your video at the moment, we really enjoy the 125 reviews even though we both have full licences.
At least it was soft mud. Once dropped mine when i pulled away with the steering lock still on! Hope she cleaned up well and no damage. Thanks
Thank you for posting this, takes some guts to do that. You did very well picking it up again, particularly as it was on mud/wet grass with presumably little grip for your feet. I did grimace when you stood the bike up and put it on its sidestand and then walked away - I had visions of the sidestand sinking into the soft ground and falling over again.
I have an enlarged foot on the side stand for that very reason!
Well, if you are going to fall, do it like that. Lovely slow speed, muddy soft ground. Thank you for uploading and keeping us riders honest. Once that front wheel goes we are just a passenger.
TMF
Glad to see that someone is riding. The "deadly polar vortex" brought us -28c today. My '13 GS will stay in the garage until we get some rain to rinse the copious amounts of salt off our roads.
The vlog and drone footage look great. Top quality work!
Oh, and that bit in the parking lot... Thanks for letting us see that TMF is indeed human. Good on you for that! Hope the GS cleaned up without any lasting evidence.
Cheers!
Good luck Scott - I hadn't heard of a "Polar Vortex" until today - even made it through all our Brexit news!
Loved the vloggage... loved the Droneage.... and good on ya for not holding back on the Dropage.
Glad you and the bike are ok, we all drop are pride and joy at some time.
At least you landed on the soft stuff. No damage and no injuries, the "best" kind of drop. I was out on the Z1000SX on Monday - it was a lovely biking day. Great to get out this time of year.
Oh I forgot the drone footage was very good it always amazing how different it looks from being on the ground, it looked very beautiful country side.
That looked like a very graceful go down...well played TMF ;) Also, its great to see a proper bike pick up for a change and glad you and the GS came out unscathed
Glad you're okay! And thanks for posting!
Hi TMF, Kudos for posting this. I expect someone has already said this but I can't be bothered to read all the comments - Having done the same several times I found that putting the side stand down and ensuring the bike is in first gear before lifting saves much grief when you have got it upright.
Correct - many have said the same - thanks for watching!
Watched this a little late, but it reminded me of my drop last summer - 2nd in 12 years of riding. Both were with people nearby advising me how to park and supposedly watching for hazards, both times bumped panniers into innocent-looking lamp poles I hadn't noticed. Lessons learned: 1) trust your own instincts, and 2) if you don't take a drop every now and then, you're probably having less fun than you should.
There are two types of motorcyclist, those that have dropped their bike, and those that are waiting too….
Just bought my first GSA, mainly due to you, and now you show me this. I am struggling to get it on the main stand and if I do I then struggle to get it off. Glad you were sensible enough not to try and hold it. Dropped my Multistrader and forgot to do the sidestand so lifted it up and it crashed down on the other side. We live and learn.
I must have missed this one TMF. Glad you were OK with no damage done.
I noticed nobody came over to see if you were OK and/or you needed assistance?!
Situation normale!! ;0)
@@TheMissendenFlyer Reminds me when I was PX my V twin at Blade Honda Reading (2016) I rode in the pouring rain to the dealer first thing in the morning, no worries.
On arrival for some reason (car park empty) I turned left into the dealership then rode up to the building and turned right to park parallel to the building in the first clear space.
The next thing I knew was lying on the deck with the bike pinning down on my right leg!!! (Bike just cut out and took me completely by surprise!)
The first thing I thought .....shit I've damaged my PX (never mind my leg) however the Blade guys lifted the bike up and off my leg.
Amazingly NO DAMAGE done to the PX only to pride (bruised inner thigh) I could feel my face still RED HOT with embarrassment and didn't remove my helmet until I was well inside the dealership.
The dealer offered and took my NEW bike to my house in their van after the paperwork was signed!!!
Capsize!!! You win the Queen's Award for Profanity Control. Seriously though, glad you and the bike escaped damage. Well done on picking it up too. When I dropped the RT (car park, side stand not down properly - easy as you note in your RT review) it fell onto the pot and pannier and I got it back up using the same 'back to' technique. And I swore a lot. Nothing much damaged though except a scuff on the head protector and pannier. Actually I think the boxer layout helps a bit as it pivots over the head rather than lying flat. Still a heavy beast though. Anyway... great dronage! Lovely spot too.
Yes I agree - the fact that the bike doesn't lay down flat is a huge help....
Nothing like dropping your pride and joy 🤣. I have done it myself. Glad you and your bike are unharmed 😊
My hat's off to you TMF for showing that. As dropping it goes, it could have been a whole lot worse. Glad you're ok.
10 out 10 for honesty sir.. the 'lift' shows the advantage of the boxer engine and bars but much respect for your technique and effort.
Thanks!
The slight tumble was well worth it for those wonderful drone shots. What fantastic scenery!
Thank you Neil!
Glad you're OK and it wasn't too serious. Stay safe!
I knew you were safe but still watched this with my heart in my mouth😬. Thankfully the only damage was to your OCD (which I’m not the first to observe). Glad you’re safe and keep up the good work👍
Could have been worse. I'm glad you left the drop (and recovery) in the video. Definitely a learning experience, as many of us have discovered. It proves you're human (gasp!) too - I'll continue to follow your channel, Flyer. Cheers! ;)
Great video as always. Yes, I did it too, only to my K1600GTL, unfortunately on bitumen. To my surprise it wasn’t exceedingly difficult to upright it on my own, possibly because the engine is quite low in the frame. Still 8 grand Australian was the damage bill and apart from the bent driving light bracket, it’s only scratches. Bike is insured, mercifully.
Crikey, that’s the problem with these large bikes, drop them on tarmac and you’re into a large bill. Thanks for watching- TMF
Another great video TMF. Well done on the drone footage that was good it looked an interesting place to visit
So glad you and the GS were ok buddy.
It's the most gut wrenching feeling. Good to see you're well, hope the bike escaped scrape / scuff free too.
Glad no damage, and kudos for the 🚲 bike lift! You made it look easy. Great drone footage. Ride safe!
My 'dropped it' story was when I had one foot down and didn't realise I had stopped on a camber where the road surface on the other side of the bike was 4 inches lower... Timber!! Unfortunately I had a bit of an audience but like you, the only damage done was to my pride. Good advice, if it's going, "let it go, let it go".
Did I mention this is the second time I’ve dropped my GS? The first time was exactly how you described, plus I was in a pub car park with a sizeable audience, doh!!!
I'm sure that brings memories to the majority of us.
I was at a roadside burger bar, frequented by bikers. The ground was gravel, with sloping areas and potholes. Youngster rolls up on a KTM duke, side stand goes into a pothole and his boot on gravel. Well ... you can imagine what happened, and the guy's embarrassment. We helped him and the bike up, checked them over, and then an older fella went over to him, shook his hand, and said ..... 'welcome to the club'. That about sums it up, and was kinda nice I thought.
Yes indeed - good story, thanks....
I always enjoy your videos TMF. I grew up in the UK and lived in Lane End, Bourne End and West Wycombe, so it brings back lots of great memories of wonderful rides on those roads. I loved the shots of the Golden Ball . Glad that was just a low speed topple and neither you or the bike were hurt! Slippery mud on top of frozen ground is very challenging!
So where in the world are you now Andrew?
TheMissendenFlyer Ah now there’s a question. I live in Huntsville Alabama. Which luckily for me is only 2 hours from the Barber Motorcycle Museum.
Nice drone footage. About the little mishap there, no worries, no harm done, when you can walk away from it unharmed and bike no damage you'll laugh about it later. Bit of a laugh at the end, that dude took your BMW car :-)
Great to see the GS out for another vlog , both cameras work a treat and the drone was spectacular . Gee TMF there are a lot of hedges up your way , great stuff . I suppose we have all dropped our bikes but not with all of us watching , look forward to your next vlog maybe detailing the GS . Cheers !!
well done TMF for having the guts to publish your (small) error. We love you even more for it (ps. you may have left the drone revving at maximum in your luggage box, therefore getting rear-Lift >>>that was not your fault at all !)
More cracking drone footage - nicely done, Sir.
As for the droppage, well done for righting the ship despite having minimal friction underfoot. Otherwise, no harm done... and hopefully that's your ration fulfilled.
Safe roads 👍
It happens. My first drop with a GS was stopping at a traffic light, put my foot down and there just so happen to be oil right in the spot my left foot met Earth.
I hate mud on my motorcycles, but once it has the unavoidable mucky stuff you might as well make the cleaning worth it by doing the dirtying you're usually avoiding. Makes the cleaning that much more enjoyable.
Great drone footage and glad it was a soft drop and no real harm done (besides bringing on your OCD when looking at your muddy bike!). And impressive that you didn’t swear or was that just clever editing!
No swearing involved! I impressed myself with that!
I very recently went smack into a concrete wall - made a video all about it. Glad that you are unhurt. Stunning aerial footage!
Great video. Glad that you were going a low speed and didn’t get hurt! Stay safe!
Oops, I always say that road tyres does not an adventure bike make. Can happen to anyone mate, living most of my life in Scotland I was used to it, however here in Vic Australia we don't get weather that cold. Love the videos.
Did exactly the same with my ST1300 on my gravel driveway the other day. Pride a little dented but no harm done….. just an excellent opportunity to practise lifting heavy bikes up…👍 keep up the good work.
Thanks Ruben - will do....
