You've touched on one of the concerns of motorcyclists. When will Congress decide that these
'motorcycles' should meet the same safety standards as cars, i.e. seatbelts, air bags, side impact
protection, roll bars, etc. And once on a roll, who knows what other 'safety' standards will be
applied to 'motorcycles', whether they be four, three, or two wheeled.

...

My old '83 wing dropped due to the cenerstand in soft dirt. It weighs 700lb dry, and yes even with crashbars and proper technique it was still a bugger to upright. I don't wanna do that often.

My first FIL was a motorcycle cop in DC and a little bitty guy (5'5
140 pounds or so and he said you stand on the footboard with one foot,
grab the handle bar and the seat rails and lean back. The trick is
stopping it before it rolls over the other way and lands on you. :-)

He went down a few times in his career. Keep your knees and elbows
tucked in tight and let the crash bars do the work.
It is not something I want to try.
The only time I ever went down was dirt riding ... twice.
