For all those riders, men and women, who believe that lifting your motorcycle off the ground is practically a utopia (unless you are stronger than vinegar), we advise you to take a look at the video that this famous Youtuber has recently uploaded to her channel, where explains step by step how to do it efficiently by applying the correct technique.
Lifting your motorcycle off the ground is just a matter of technique
To tell the truth, this is not the first time we have talked to you about this recurring topic in SMN. Basically, because lifting your motorcycle off the ground can become a real odyssey if you do not have any of these things: An admirable physique loaded with muscles all over, or someone really crafty who has devised an efficient technique for such a task.
Both things can also happen in the same biker, which in truth would be ideal in this case. But let’s say you weigh about 50 kilos and are just over 160 cm tall. If this is an approximate description of your physical build, this is when you should take a look at the explanatory video on how to lift your motorcycle off the ground that comes to us from the channel Doodle On A Motorcycle on YouTube.
In it we can see how its protagonist, Carolyn, also known as “Doodle”, is able to lift her Triumph Tiger 900 from the ground, also loaded with a soft bag anchored to the back seat.
In total, approximately 250 kilograms which, when pushed in the correct way, but above all positioned using a simple traction technique, becomes a fairly simple task.
To do this, Doodle sticks his butt and lower back against the seat of his motorcycle, placing his legs at a perfect 90º angle. Then he grabs the end of the handlebar with one hand and with the other he does the same with the rear subframe of the Triumph.
From there it is a complete technique exercise where, by pushing backwards with the lower part of your back and upwards with the soles of your feet, we see how you manage to lift the Tiger 900 in a coordinated and linear manner.
Conclusion: lifting your motorcycle off the ground is not as difficult as it seems, even if you are a featherweight and your mount is just the opposite. Carolyn shows us this with her weight of just 50 kilos and the 250 kilos of her Triumph Tiger 900, although again we reiterate that this is more skill than strength.
