Tip Overs

Tip Overs
Hello everyone. I have had two tip overs, both in my garage because something on the floor that my foot slipped on. I got the Road King up with the suggested method, back towards bike, gripped the engine and saddle bag bars and small stepped it up. Then, later I tipped my Ultra over and had trouble, as I am 70 and 5'8" 170 lbs. I had a 6' 2x4 that I placed through the engine guards, (crash bars to us mature folks) and was easily able to right the bike.
Question is that I can't carry a 6' piece of lumber on my bike.
Does anyone know of a collapsable pipe like device that would fit in the tour pack?
Thanks for racking your brains, I know this is unusual question.

I don't have one of these, but several people on the forum recommended it to an earlier post similar to yours. There is a video ou can watch, and it looks like it gets good reviews.

That sucks dude. I'm lucky I have never dumped my limited. I dumped my road King on poor footing ona logging road in North East Canada out to a friends cabin. Surely not a road for my current 2010 limited as the weight would have just collapsed the side of the road, nevermind the 2004 Road King I was riding. Me and my buddy were able to get the road King out of the ditch but if it had been my limited we would have needed at least one other person. No tool would have helped.

If you're out and about, I think more people than you know would rush over to help out. However, if you're out in deliverance country, that motobikejack might be the ticket, especially if you have a bad back or foot or some other injury that prevents you from lifting something heavy.
Thanks for the advice and a laugh early in the morning.
