- I need to learn how to pick up my 700lb Harley Davidson if I drop her. I am trying 2 techniques, the first is the common Butt lift, the other is the Meye technique. Check them out, would highly recommend you practice them both.

Hi, I commented on Cheyleesi's channel trying to teach Yanks English, You commented to my comment and asked was I English. I said I would check your channel out and you said I should say Hi, so Hi. What an intro! and where better to start than the start.
No, I'm Scots but lived in Northern Ireland 56 years so I'm ok with both. I ride a Harley or I guess I should say, a 2010 RK and a 2015 48 both bought new. I also ride an 07 Ducati Hypermotard 1100S (still a hooligan) also bought new along with a few classic bike's most young people are not interested in.
When I buy a bike it tends to end up a prisoner. I do all my own work and restore them.
Well done in picking up your bike, they are heavy, I hope the last time you picked it up in the vid will be the last you need to. The last time I dropped a bike was 1979 until last May, I had crawl from under it (the 48) and lift it out of a ditch.
I've subscribed and will check out more of your vids, I see you're channel is new so I wish you luck with it. I'm sure you watch Username Kate and Itchy Boots.
Hi Nightser, thanks for joining the channel. Our daughter is studying at Uni in Scotland and we are planning on touring there when the virus allows - The coastal road. We have family in South Africa that restore classic bikes, currently building the old ABC bikes from 1919-1923 - amazing machines. I have unfortunately used the bike pickup far too often for my liking, always at slow speed (you will see in the videos).
I have watched Itchy Boots, what an adventure.
@@BunnyKingHogs You will enjoy the roads in Scotland I visit frequently especially north, west and rural, I'm from Bannockburn, they have great surfaces and many are elevated and you can see for miles. This is not meant as flattery but no way do you look old enough to have a daughter at uni but hey, how cool is it for her "my mum rides a Harley"
Yeah the ABC's are a strange article and fairly rare, my earliest is 1935 ex Luftwaffe NSU 500 OSL in original unrestored condition the way I like them with a few 30's 50's and 60's bikes some fairly iconic, i.e, Vincent Comet, 69 Bonnie, 53 T'bird (Marlon Brando) then bikes I had back in the day, GT750J, H2 750, R75/5, Laverda 750SF, XS11, CBX1000Z, and a few more, you can pretty much tell bikes are pretty much my life.
Brilliant !!!! Honest content, well done.
It gave me so much confidence knowing I can pick her up on my own.
very informative.just happens i dropped my bike yesterday in a parking lot.with wifes help it was an easy pick up but keep in mind my bike is over 900 lbs
I use the second technique. Works better for me. It never lays on the kickstand side, LOL
Hi Grace, thanks for watching. Yes, I find the 2nd technique so much easier.
If its on the other side its easier just put the kick stand out and you don't have to worry about balancing it for a second.
I've always used the technique you're calling the "Bum Technique". Was surprised at how easy it was to lift my nearly 1,000lb 2017 RoadGlide Ultra up from it's side. Seems my bike lays further over too. Great job!!
I think I find the other technique easier, maybe it has something to do with the bars with more leverage. You will see in my videos, sadly I have used it quite a bit! The crash bars help, to get it to that position is relatively easy, it's the lifting bit that is the hard bit.
Just found your channel, started with you getting your bike's rear spoke problem fixed in Holland. As with any new channel I find, I like to start at the beginning because it great to see a channel (and person) grow. I have to say that seeing the Meye technique was really interesting because, 1. I didn't know this technique had a name, and 2. You made it look really easy to do!! I've used the bum technique every time I've had to pick my Road King Special (or former Street Glide Special), which thankfully wasn't to often. Looking forward to watching your adventures!!
Hi Delzona, and welcome to the channel. I found the Meye technique easier, it might just be because of my bars. Thanks for watching, hope you enjoy the videos
Yes, those wide Beach Bars probably are very helpful in getting you bike back up! No matter what it's about getting back on the road again! Cheers!
You should try these techniques with your bike laid down on the right side. It makes things a little tricky because you have to remember to put the kickstand down before picking up the bike.
I have, in the robin hood video. 😀
@@BunnyKingHogs Oh yeah. Now I remember 🤪😜😉
@@FLHCSfan68 easy HAHA
@@BunnyKingHogs Not so Bueno when you forget to lower the kickstand first... I have learned the hard way 😉😂
@@BunnyKingHogs I appreciate you
Whatever helps you get the bike up looks like you got it pretty well handled
Thanks, was a great feeling learning how to pick up my bike
I’m starting to watch the whole series of BunnyKing from the start... who else could make a “pick your bike up” video so entertaining???? ❤️U2
Thanks Pater. It was an awesome feeling learning how to pick her up. Gives you a sense of freedom and made me more confident that I could sort things out if I did drop her on my own
@@BunnyKingHogs
Haven’t heard from Ms BunnyKing in a while! Nice to see your reply my dear!
@@BunnyKingHogs
BTW... best way to not pick up a bike is to NOT drop it. LOL
Bonnie has dropped hers only once that I know of, she was exhausted and just slipped on some sand. I now know the signed when to stop and give her a rest. (And feed her!!!) I’ve dropped bikes a dozen times, usually just a loss of focus. I’ve always used the bum method, but I want to try the handle bar way... I have a friend that is a bad rider... her drops his bike regularly, I try on his bike! LOL
Both Bonnie and I are so happy to support your channel, you two are similar to us!
Great video and well demonstrated. I always like to demonstrate the bum technique to my better half.
Actually prefer the Maye technique
awesome I'm definitely going to have my wife take a look at the techniques they're very useful especially when things tend to tip over also would like to say thank you for your support on our IG Channel
Thanks! been useful on our trip so far. Likewise:)
Always be safe and make sure you don't hurt yourself when lifting your motorcycle.
Try to be, lucky all my drops have been stationary
Good job on picking up your bike
Thanks! She is a very heavy girl. Knowing I can do it gives you a sense of freedom. Appreciate you watching!
Well done.
Thanks Martin
@@BunnyKingHogs Your welcome. I love your videos. Take care.
Helloz to you both ... hey I'm just boared at home and was going to spend the day watching your videos but have notices there are some missing ... I haven't been on here in sometime have u taken them down or ... me just wondering thats all but thanku for all you do and your latest vid was amazing and thanks again to you both ... lovez
Hi Bootz, yes I removed the video with my daughter as she didn't want to be on youtube anymore and carolyne hated the one about the animals
Well done!
Thank you. Being able to lift her is a very empowering feeling.
Cheers!
This is awesome! Good job! 🙂👍
Thank you! 😄. Appreciate you watching! More to come soon
Great video 👍 well done
Thanks for the visit
Definitely if really flat on side it would be a struggle for anybody. But you are doing well. The best thing to do is avoid dropping bikes in the first place. A few years ago I dropped an Electra glide whilst in states and picking that up was not much fun!
Brian dropped his Road King with all the gear on it in Italy (Cyclist cut him off in a car park) Lifted and then dropped it the other side...not impressed. They say you haven't ridden a bike unless you have dropped it. Badge of honour-ish
Great job !!!! I ride a Soft tail like yours nice to know these methods !!!
Thanks Brooks, appreciate the kind words and glad the techniques were of some help. I loove my bike. Thanks for watching and supportingbtge channel.
Good for you! You've mastered both techniques! Now, practice both techniques from the other side of the motorcycle. Then you'll REALLY be the best!
great video👍
Thank you 👍
She did it! Impressive!
She did! And it gave her loads of confidence to ride on her own, knowing that she could help herself. Thanks DonPedro
Great job!! It is all in the walking for sure. Good for you.
Definitely prefer the Maye technique, I actually used it the following day and I found it so easy. Made me more confident riding on my own. Have you ever dropped your bike and what technique did you use?
@@BunnyKingHogs Never!!! I once heard, we need to remember to say I have never dropped my bike...YET!! LOL!! I have tried the backwards walking technique at a Ladies of Harley Garage night.
@@HarleyGurl114 Lucky you, and long may that luck continue. And if you ever need to pick up your bike I hope the tips help you
Great job ! I prefer the bum technique. (But the wind was giving you a hard time lol) keep up the good stuff
Thank you! I used the Meye Technique a few times on our recent trip.
Well done´especially clever to use wind assistance!
Haha Wind assistance. Might have agreed with you had I. not had to pick up my bike so often.
Happy Dance!!
Yeah!! Really happy to learn how to pick her up.
It’s a badge of honour that I have earned a few times in my biking career but one I would have rather missed out on!,!
Like wise, I dropped her the day I got my licence at a round about in the dark. No one stopped to help.
Yay! you did it!!!!!!
Thank you, and used it many times since HAHA
I'm very impressed 😉
😁, knowing i can pick up.my bike was very empowering. I dropped her the first time i went riing at a round about, eveyone just stood and watched/filmed.
@@BunnyKingHogs I am glad you can lift on your own. Excellent job
Really useful video, thank you!
Thank you, I hope you never have to use them though
Well done! Quite an achievement especially with a bike as heavy as that! did you do any training? (exercise etc)
Thanks Bob, no training just practiced
That away Girlfriend, nothing like a Badass Biker Babe!
Hahah...Thank you!
Is that "The Moors"???💀
Hi John, the area is called Bradfield, in the Peak District.
Well done!! 👍
Thank you! 👍
Great lesson in picking up a bike I did join watching it With your comment and opinion
I will share it course i want car owners also to know how to do it So they can help when needed
Greetz a new Fan
Thanks for sharing! I definitely find the Meye technique easier, maybe my bars help with the leverage. Welcome to the channel and have a fantastic Christmas!
Very good 👋.... but, bet you can't lift it when it goes down on the other side...???
I think you will find I am able to do so, either side!! Makes no difference HAHA, I have dropped her so often I have practice now. In fact there are a few videos in which I have dropped her and picked her up. It was very liberating knowing I could do it myself
True
Thank goodness for crash bars
The Meye technique will bend your bars.
Do you really think that would happen? I would hope not
@@BunnyKingHogs yes it does and will happen.
Yes you are right but try not to crash!
i will try ;)
She is Amazing.
Thanks 😊
I’ve been looking into the new softail standard but intimidated by the weight 🥺 sat on it and just felt extremely tiny on that thing lol
Hi Carol, welcome to the channel.You going to get it? I felt so much better and more confident riding my bike once I knew how to pick her up. She is a heavy girl but both techniques work and they are super easy. You can see in a couple of the videos (Robin Hood - th-cam.com/video/OPtZq9S8R-s/w-d-xo.html) I am able to pick up my dropped bike with no problem Let me know if you get your bike!! :) Oh yes, make sure you get some crash bars!
@@BunnyKingHogs thank you :) I ended up purchasing an 883 iron. It’s my first bike and I’m a new rider! So after some time thoroughly searching, I felt most comfortable to start on this bike with the hopes of building my riding experience/confidence to a softail! That is the ultimate goal 😎 I just stumbled upon your TH-cam so I will definitely be checking out your videos!
@@Lilsunshinebaby congrats!!! Lovely bikes the 883. In reality I should have got a smaller bike but I fell in love with Bunny when I saw her, we bought her and I then had to learn to ride and get my licence. Probably not the best first bike to get but... Welcome to the channel and thanks for watching! Where are you in the world?
@@BunnyKingHogs I was very close to doing the same! I went to a Harley dealer and was just about to go with a softail but something pulled me back. I’m really happy with the 883, I think I will definitely outgrow it though.
And hello from Southern California 😎
Be carful with the small black number plate🚔🤝
What small black number plate....😉
@@BunnyKingHogs I had a black number plate on my road glide special 2 years ago and I was stopped by the police because apparently is not legal😔
It’s character forming.
Also bike deforming
What about when it is laying on the other side?
Hi Peter, thanks for watching and welcome to the channel. Same process I guess (in fact if you watch the Robin Hood video, I actually drop my bike on that side and pick it up th-cam.com/video/OPtZq9S8R-s/w-d-xo.html). It is slightly easier that side cause you can put the stand down to stop it going over. The meye technique is definitely easiest
By far, the easiest technique is the “eye flutter”. Just bat those eyelashes and get a couple of dudes to do it for you.
pfft no way! where I ride there aren’t always people around to help. also, I like to do things for myself :)
Not meaning to detract from your stunning abilities but the bike is only leaning over a little bit. If it was flat on its side what then?
surprisingly the bike us actually quite easy to get to that point, i think the crash bars and my beach bars help.
Great Job Girlie :)
Really empowering to know I can lift my bike on my own! I would definitely recommend the Maye technique, much easier
@@BunnyKingHogs I've only done the bootie one I'm interested to try the Maye technique tho for sure!
@@nitrowife Not sure if the beach bars give me greater leverage, but I find it much easier
This techniques works only on dry clean asbalt. What about lifting a bike on a wet grass after rain?
Don't ever plan on dropping the bike on wet grass - it's a Harley after all.
I wish to You of new achievements.
Thanks, hope you are well
Now if you had a side stand on both sides life would be easier!
That would be useful. Not sure you can have a central stand on a harley. Maybe a trike?
Not at all. When picking up from the right side just first of all check the stand and then lift the bike.
@@DonPedro6901 Have you seen the Robin Hood Vlog? I picked her up from the right side in that one (i didn't put the stand down though)
@@BunnyKingHogs no, I haven't.
Where are you right there...it is beautiful!
We love it, very fortunate to live in the area. Thanks for watching
What engine is it? 88?
96 -lovely engine
Wunderschöne Frau ❤️tolle Augen und schönes dekolte, 🤗😂ich finde eure Videos sehr schön Gruß kay 🥰🥰🥰
dont drop the bike in the first place
When you drop your bike you will be glad you watched this
My four requirements for a first bike.
You can afford the bike, the gear and the insurance.
You have to be able to get a foot on the ground.
You have to be able to pick it up.
You have to keep it in safe running condition.
I am disappointed you were riding for a year before you learned how. That was unsafe.
Brian, husbands/wizards ought to know better!
What did you expect, that if she dropped it, men would just rain from the sky to help her?
Oh.
Yeah.
I guess that would work for her.
appreciate the comments Dex. at the time of recording, both of us had only just passed our test so it hadnt been a year, maybe a week or 2 at most. As with most things she was determined to learn how to pick up the bike on her own and not rely on me to do it for her, so we learnt. Got to start somewhere. Thanks for watching
Without the crash bars it would be very difficult. Even Superman would have a hard time picking up a wet bike without crash bars. Great job though.
I have a Brian, not quite superman though haha
