    agreed. the main thing is not too freak out and lean over and try to wrench the bike up off the ground. youll give yerself a hernia. (yes, experience is a great tutor. no hernia, just a mean-as groin strain ) give yourself a mo to think before deciding how to get it back up again. you've got time to comtemplate...i mean, you have stopped right?...

    All of this advise is great. Unless of course you own a full dress 1800 goldwing. In which case the method is as follows.
    Yell at the top of your lungs "ohhhh SHIIIIIIT" As it tumbles on its side.
    Followed by a quick phone call to a local towie to hoist it back on its wheels using the pannier rails as a lifting point.
    Those things are really really heavy.
    My bike has 3 wheels-You gotta problem with that???

    I thought a gold wing was the motorcycle equivalent of a weeble...

    Or there is enough space to store a jack
    Motorbike only search
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - CRC AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE CRC. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE
