Picking up the bike

Are there any members who can pick up their bike on their own after it has been layed down. The bike is almost 500 pounds, and I couldn't. I had to have my neigbor help me Don't ask how it got there, but just an interesting situation that came about. No damage, just minor scratch on the bottom of my front turn signal. At least I made sure the kickstand was up, otherwise it would have fallen on the otherside as well.

this is what you need

this should do it

I wieght 145-150 lbs, 5' 8". Basicly a bean pole.
I picked mine up, uphill, not a little up hill but scary up hill, by myself. You can do it.

Thats a great link, The beamers hardly on the deck though as the bike is resting on its cylinders. The FZ6 would be much lower. Still it does look like a pukka technique. I heard that in Japan one of the requirments for the test was that you should be able to pick the bike up if it fell over?
