I have never dropped my Rocket...But it has been down...My son or his buddy pulled it over by pulling on bungi cords tying stuff down...They were on the right side pulling on the straps and pulled it over....That is what they told me anyways....???
Now For my K1200 LT BMW...I have dropped it so many times...I do not even try to catch it.....I found out it does not hurt the bike one bit to fall over
The backing up to the seat does work....even on Nakkid bikes..
The Guy on the Goldwing was close to the way it should be picked up...
His butt was to high on the seat and his legs were bent too much.
