[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1266230, member: 19880"] For what its worth, a 'Wing is far easier to pick up than an FJR; especially if the FJR goes all the way over. 'Wing has a MUCH lower center of gravity and doesn't really go over very far because of engine guards and bags. Using proper technique (learned when I had a Yamaha Venture), I have struggled to pick up the FJR on a couple of occasions after zero speed drops. I'm not a 90 pound weakling and it took quite a large effort. Mind you, this was with a fully loaded bike (camping gear etc.) on an upslope with uneven ground. It can be done by most people if you are on a good level surface - use a handlebar and the frame under the seat. As the video shows, put your butt on the seat and walk it to an upright position using leg muscles; never the back. [/QUOTE]
