From the above photo, be sure side stand is down, bike is in first gear. Handle bars turned al the way to the right. BACK-UP to the bike. Take the right handle bar with left hand and take right hand and in this case grab the saddle bag "crash bars". Squat down, keep back straight and stand up using your legs to raise the bike up. Careful at the top but let the bike go over onto it's side stand.

For drop on left side, improvise the above.
