I carry carabiners, a long rope, and pulley just in case. I also have a knot book so I can practice tying secure knots. A few pre-made prussic loops are always good to have on hand.hmm it looks like grip and squats are where its at http://www.advpulse.com/adv-prepping/proper-lifting-techniques-adventure-motorcycle/
I haven't needed anything crazy, my other bikes have been a dirt bike (can pick that up easy lol its like 220lbs) a supermoto (heavier but still only 320lbs) and a Vstrom 1k ADV (like 475 with bags on it, not loaded, but REAL low center of gravity so it was surprisingly easy to pick back up)
That's exactly how it's done, wire an on/off switch to the abs fuse. turn the switch off and everything is gone. Turn the switch back on and you have to cycle the ignition switch to turn everything back on.Can't you just pull the ABS fuse to disable it? In which case you can simply wire a switch to turn it on and off.
I ask seriously, isn't there a fuse you can pull to shut it down?
Would this affect the speedometer? I saw a YouTube video where they did this but it turned off the speedo while the ABS was off.That's exactly how it's done, wire an on/off switch to the abs fuse. turn the switch off and everything is gone. Turn the switch back on and you have to cycle the ignition switch to turn everything back on.

LOL What makes you think I was just riding off road? I had to get out there and back from near Buffalo NY and I was camping. Here's a few from Labrador, same bike, same tires, same "too much stuff".You are actually packing to much stuff for good off road riding.
I would ditch the panniers and pack lighter.
Keep on doin' what works for you!LOL What makes you think I was just riding off road? I had to get out there and back from near Buffalo NY and I was camping. Here's a few from Labrador, same bike, same tires, same "too much stuff".
Figure out how to pick it up now, before you need to in the middle of a road, so you are NOT like these guys:re: picking it back up.
I don't have anyone to ride with sadly. What should I be doing in the gym to help with my ability to pick it back up on my own? Deadlifts? General core and arms? I guess squats as well?
I know that sounds dumb, but for real, if I am stronger, obviously I will have an easier time getting it up onto the wheels, so if I can target some specific things to help, I will give them a little extra attention when I work out.
Ha, I know the original questions by OP are not so much relevent now, but, you can certainly kill a fly with a hammer, but it is a lot smarter to use a flyswatter! I agree that rider ability is absolutely a factor. I tried to ride my Honda AT over Imogene Pass in Colorado and quickly found my limitations, coupled with a bike that is almost 100 pounds lighter than the ST. My current opinion is that using 500 to 600 pound "hammers" on the likes of Imogene pass, from Telluride side, is not so much a good idea. Having said that, I did manage to take the Alpine Loop, Cinnamon Pass, then Engineers Pass on my ST, and managed to do that without dropping bike. Was it the perfect tool? Not so much, but yes, I made it around and totally enjoyed the ride! At 68 years, I prolly lack some skill levels of many of ya'll. I know there have been ST
's that made it over Imogene, but I can't imagine how!!!!!
