If a girl can do it..............

This is a good demo of how to pick up a dropped bike :

Yep! I have seen that same technique demonstrated on another video.

And I like how the step by steps are sensible... "ask for help..."
Damn right! if there are a couple of burly blokes around then I sure as hell am gonna ask for help.

When I was 16, my Dad had a brand new Electra Glide, and he would let me ride it around the yard, (large) and was doing fine till I got cocky and tried to "flat track" it round a corner, laid it down fairly gently, but you'd have thought it was a mini bike as fast as I got that thing back on it's wheels.

Under what?

I was trapped under the bike at a gas station once...

Pulled in, casually kicked the stand down and didn't realise that it had bounced back up, started to get off the bike and of course it fell onto its side with me half under it. I was stuck, couldn't pull myself out from under it LOL.
It was late at night and I lay there waving my arms and yelling for help til the attendant finally heard me.

OH THE SHAME!  embarrassed
