In this video I try to summarize experience I learned while picking up (or lifting) Ténéré 700 53 times over last 2 days. It turned out to be the most complicated video to make so far.

Everyone needs to find their own method to lift a motorcycle which is comfortable and safe for them, it will depend on the rider, bike and environment.

With help of Heather (@improbablyadventuring) who trained heavy lifting, we tried to explain good form for picking up motorcycles (and heavy things in general) as well as to experiment with different methods we know of and find one which would work for each of us the best.

Check the links bellow for the original/detailed videos for each of the methods.
