He is afraid that People see his bold head. I am bold to and have no problems with it.

That cap move is slicker than the rolling dismount.

It's all in the up and over motion

🤣

@@iwanv1625 I think its more style… and show off, thing… And its really cool too. iT's liKe tHe gOod sHow oFf… Not like tha baD once…

😂🤣

I swear I even go back to watch it again, and it's as if he's even editing the clip, he's that smooth.

Neither can he apparently😄

No one must see my head!

@@phillipbatho3213 🤣😂🤣... Too true!

😂🎉

Also I noticed he has a hat small enough that fits in his jacket front pocket. My cap does not :)

I'm starting to think he has the hat on under the helmet.

You know what's even better? His transitions from helmet to beret.

Quite true.

It's mostly shame.

Yep, I crashed once, nothing major, focusing on a gate on the corner hit the gate... lol, heard car coming behind - I picked it up in a second, sat on bike and pretended to look over gate - oh the shame of having someone stop and ask "is everything OK mate" it hurt like but I was less embarrassed 😳

The bike do not roll. You don't sett the bike in neutral before you lay the bike down. Then you are not falling, you are giving up and trow the bike over. Even if you did not even fall. Then you are just stupid, and shuold just drive a car. Its not nice, but the truth is seldom nice.

@@Gismo3333 The truth is that I have many miles of off road experience and I keep a velcro strap on my handle bars to pin the front brake to keep the bike from rolling. You can't guarantee that the bike will be in gear when you go down, or that the rear tire will hold. When you are moving 700 lbs of machine you don't want it to move unexpectedly. I've seen it happen plenty of times to justify both carrying the strap and suggesting it.

@@PetrolJunkie Then you should get your self a smaller bike if you cant handle it. That strap is going to catch something one day. And it is not going to be dinner. At lest not for you. Or it catch you hand… That can be fun, even if you don't move at all. This sound like a "smart thing", found up by someone with no experience with a bike. It should be illegal to ride with something dangling of the bike. And it maybe is… I am never putting a death trap like that on my bike, ever. Rater buy a smaller bike. I have no need to take a 1250cc GS into the bush. And I just saw Noraly aka Itchy Boots in a race in Africa. humiliating 1000 and 1200cc bikes on her small, tiny little Savanna. With only a small 250cc Honda. She even took the time to go back with some gas to one that was out. But she was the first to the finish line. The big bikes cud not keep up at all in sand and heavy gravel. And that bike tops out at 110kph. Maybe get your self a smaller bike, and learn how to ride before getting a big one. Then you maybe can hold the bike up more and not fall all the time. It is way easier to learn on a smaller bike, then on a big heavy beast. That is for people that are very talented and good. That don't fall over.

@@Gismo3333 I never leave it on the grip. It won't catch on anything where it is attached between the brake lever mount and where the bars are bolted on. If you want a smaller bike, buy a smaller bike. I ride what I ride because it puts a smile on my face. I’m not here trying to convince you to ride an R1250GSA in the places Inwould take mine. I have the skills to do it safely. Bit no matter how skilled you are, or what size bike you have, do yourself a favor and make sure you are prepared for the evenual flop on the ground. Ride safe and have fun.

I weigh at the most 70kg yet I can pick up my motorcycle easily, and my biggest bit of exercise is getting up in the morning. Good technique will always win over strength.

If you're lifting your bikes, you're doing more than getting up in the morning! Daily things that seem like nothing can build breaths and strength - and some people need a little bit of targeted help. Weights aren't just for muscleheads!

Exactly. My Yamaha Venture weighs 869 pounds, but I'm 75 and will never regain/retain the leg strength to lift it... But if I were still in my 50's or 60's, yes, exercise is the best, first tool.

I see you do not follow me on Instagram and still have more videos to watch or you would know the truth 🤔 Maybe you are right, maybe not 🤣

I can guarantee that the video editor kept it in the final cut for the legendary move that it is.

Best in the business 😜

I replayed to see that again, as it felt like the cap was always underneath the helmet. I had to check.

And how to get that right leg out of the way whilst looking like your stuck under the bike @0:04 - great skills

That is a special skill you can‘t learn. A born gift called: Bret Beret Skill 😉🤗

Not a beret , it's called a driving cap!

@@ronaldthomas9396 I know, Flat cap etc. every country has its own name

Scaly

Same thoughts! I nealy injured my back badly once trying to lift my F650GS lying flat. I am not that strong and it is a tad heavy to lift for me.

Not bad for a guy that works solo 😉

Im riding the same beast btw

Thanks for the tip, my old technique doesn`t work well on the T7. I`ll try yours (and Brets).

Are you blind or did you not see the video? He used only his legs to lift the bike up. He even told you what he did, and you don't listen. Yeee all bikes are heavy if you use the wrong techniques. Even a 50cc can be heavy at 100kg. But you only want to make excuses for not training on the techniques. Try doing this 5-10 times a day, for a week. And see what happen. My guess is it's going much better. It has noting to do with being strong… You may have to lift your bike up 20 times in a day. At lest if you are lazy and don't care to train on anything. Then you drop your bike every meter (2 feet). You probably pas out after 20min, if you have no practice at noting.

@@Gismo3333 Gee thanks for setting me straight. I only judged from my actual experience picking up that exact motorcycle.

@gismo_TB, 3 feet 3 inches and some change in a meter!😂

That REALLY sucks!

How does that happen. My son plays professional football ball he is an extreme athlete he ruptured his. I have done countless crazy stuff never have. What makes this weak. Is it position or personal weakness from previous condition ?

@@dennislavigne1299 It's when the tendons become overloaded too much, too abruptly. And one tries over training to get stronger too fast. Then it will snap.

You don't get good at something that you did "a few times". Then you are bad at it, and set up for failure. Training is not doing something a few times. The truth sucks… Telling you a lie or a half lie is not going to help much, is it… Just a waist of time…

I too use the handlebar lift almost 100% of the time of course my bike is a little bit lighter than his.

A critical ADV rider skill 😁

I went to the 'merch' link, expecting to find the array of all-season 'Tkacshats'. No such luck.

@@snowgoose9322 if I find a proper vendor maybe I will start a "Tkacs collection"

Grrr

I could think of worse situations but at least this is in places riders like to fall down. 🙂

My GS like that lift too

That's the biggest challenge I hear... Let's see in in the woods. Then let's see it not on a GS, now it's let's see it loaded. 🤣😂 Sometimes people just miss the message 🙂

Thanks
