Showing a friend how to pick up his 600 lb bike

[c10]

Kenny is 66 retired Houston PD , and a Army Vet from Vietnam . @138 lb runner he told me about some off road drops , and was considering getting a lighter bike for gravel roads , and adventure riding . He's alone most of the time on his trips . So we took the Super T into the yard for some practice

Good job C10 but in the real world slopes gravel holes etc it might be still a little challenging

Riding alone anywhere, especially in the back blocks adventure riding is unsafe and to be honest, foolish.
Bryan, you really should accompany him on these rides when possible.
The reason I say this is when I was 16 I went trail riding alone in a riverbed area, no-one around and early on a summer's morning.
I fell down a bank and my bike fell on top of me pinning me and I was buried in soft gravel.
It took an hour of supreme effort to dig my self out of there and get my bike back on the track . . . it could have ended a lot worse.
Ever since that day, I always ride with others, always!
Rant over . . . but you get my point.

Off road I prefer to push the bike up facing it. With the back to the bike it is easy to slip on loose ground.

Speaking of riding alone, your phone should be on your body, not your bike! You might get separated from the bike and not be able to move or walk. Keep the phone on your body!
