I watch this guy occasionally, he dropped his bike, on a side note, I learned how to lift a bike properly (an old guy lifting an Fjr is no small feat, im guessing those arent light)

Thankfully I've never dropped my bike (knock on wood) but I've seen enough videos of the "reverse push up" approach to know what it's the go-to method if ever needed. I've seen even the heaviest baggers / wings picked up this way with ease.

It depends a bit on the shape of the side of the bike. The one time I tried it, the thing slid away from me rather than lifting up.
