I might not be strong enough w/ my bad shoulder, but is there a technique to getting it back up?

BTW, I've stupidly dropped mine twice.

Ksanbon, check this video out

YouTube - NB's F6550GS - How to pick up a motorcycle

I studied this tutorial after I dropped mine, and it really helped - managed to pick up my bike alone, in one go, and surprisingly it's very easy to do. You just sit on your bike, grab the lower handle bar with one hand, grab lower passenger handle with other, pick it up a bit, and walk backwards until the bike is up.

YouTube had a bunch of videos showing how. Here's one:

am i the only one that noticed, or did that dude in the video pick THE ABSOLUTE worse place in the world to lay down the bike for this demonstration?

ok, granted- he's prolly a pro. but, for us newbies not totally used to lifting all that weight, it's probably an easy mistake to lift too hard and then tip over the other side...

and, then nice red bike go bye-bye off the cliff... :lol:

Frankly I was expecting at the end for the bike to roll over in the ditch, that would be a video from ADD Rider, aaaa ADV Rider I mean

.

On a different note, nice GS, maybe one day....
