How do you pick up your bike?
I have 2 bikes 1 is a 50cc Honda scoopy, This is fantastic for the short commute into Manchester. I can literally pick her up if and when needed.
The other is a BMW k75, a couple of weeks ago I wanted to put it on its side while I did some maintenance. getting it down carefully was a challenge, but done with a bit of ingenuity! I tried to lift it up afterwards to see it i could do it on my own unaided, I couldn't.
This made me think, I won't have a hoist when I am in the middle of no-where so how would I pick it up / get it upright if I drop it or come off with out help?
my thoughts were to make a segmented leaver out of titanium pipe or rod about 1.6 meters long in 4 parts!
What are your ideas please?
