Im a member of the oops club too. Twice as a matter of fact. 1 time at a PA turnpike toll booth ( That was fun I can tell ya) and 1 time in a hotel parking garage. Them Electraglides sure nuff are heavy man!! Especially when fully loaded for the road!
Be careful on going over the other direction when you pick it up. My buddy and I were moving our bikes under a canopy to get them out of the rain at a rally. Next thing I know I see him flip over his heritage and the bike goes down. I run over to help him pick it up and we both flipped over the other side. No damage, just a little muddy. We still laugh about that story. There were about 20 people 10 feet away and no one saw us. There was a just a little bit of alchohol involved.
If you ever get the chance to view or buy the video CD (Ride Like a Pro). It's well worth the time or cost. It has a lot of helpful tips especially how to pick up a bike, they use a full dresser as an example.
I think ive dropped my 06 like 4 times .. the thing to remember is you can pick it up.. Forget about the onlookers if there are any and do just like the video shows and up it will come ..
My 08 Ultra was sitting in Harbor Freight wheel chock (not bolted down) on my patio while I was cleaning bugs off it. It was a windy day. I went inside, grabbed something to drink, heard a thud, looked out and it was laying on its side. I think adrenilin kicked in because I ran out and grabbed the handlebars and picked it up in one move. Minor scratch on the hwy bar and a bent clutch lever and a lesson learned that the wheel chocks have holes in them for a reason
