Ladies - can you pick up your GS?

I picked mine up the same way, two hands one the bars and just lifted..but it has been voted that I'm a freak..so I'm not good to judge by..

There was a link a page or two back to a page that shows how even the smallest of riders can pick up the biggest of bikes! /end annoying infomercial voice.
The technique was basically: butt against the seat, one hand grabbing the handlebar, the other grabbing the frame (or something sturdy) near the seat.  I used the handy-dandy handle behind the rear seat of my bike.  Legs out in front, knees bent slightly pushing up and back, using your backside for leverage. 
This way, you can help guarantee that you're using your legs to lift, instead of your back, which could cause some pretty nifty damage there.  (Yes, I said nifty.)

BTW, is that handle on the back an F thing, or does the E have that handle, too?

No I cant Im a wuss.  But my plans are if I drop her again is to take my helmet off, shake my hair around like one of those shampoo commercials, and then to show at little skin as to attract some guys to stop and pick up my bike for me.












Guys are complete suckers sometimes.

dont lie... you don't have skin to show... its all a lie.

Another useful trick to know is how to pivot your GS 360 Degrees on the centerstand because you got stuck between two rude asses and couldn't pull out or back out.
