There will be an occasion in every man’s life when he swings a leg over but can’t get it up. When that happens, don’t stress.
Rod Taylor explains how he coped with the situation.
The first time this happened to me I was on my way to meet friends at Hattah Lakes in Victoria and had stopped on a steeply cambered country road to do a map check. The DR650 wasn’t as heavy as some of the big lumps we ride offroad now, but it was fairly tall and I’d loaded up it up with panniers and strapped a pack to the pillion seat.
That was mistake #1.As I climbed back on the bike I realised the combination of luggage and sloping road meant I couldn’t lift the bike off the sidestand.
