Drat

I was able to pick up my 05 Rocket solo the couple times it fell over. The last time was 2017. This GT version doesn't have the grab points my old Standard had, but fortunately I moved from rural Kansas to DFW area so there's always someone around willing to stop and help an old geezer right his beached whale.
 
Funny, 2017 was probably the last time I was able to pick mine up too, at 68 I doubt I could, luckily I haven't dropped it since then.
I couldn't believe how lucky I was 4 or 5 years ago, the wife and I were on my K1200GT, we were in a restaurant eating, I went outside for a smoke, it took a minute to register what I was seeing, a motorcycle in the parking lot laying on its side, another couple seconds to register that it was indeed my motorcycle laying on its side, the parking lot was soft millings, the kickstand had sunk in enough for the bike to tip over.
Just then a guy walked out, I'm not exaggerating when I say he was so burly his shoulders touched both sides of the doorway. " Brother, feeling strong? Help out a friend".
 
There are two types of riders, those that have dropped their bikes and those that will.
 
Front and rear crash bars made picking up my 05 pretty easy as it never was laying flat.
 
I decided to try to get back in shape (80 years old) so tried to do pull up no way , push up i did real good on the way down nothing on the way up managed a few sit ups. when i was a young buck i could do 500 sit ups had do do them with a pillow and no jeans so i would not get blisters on my ass. probably not real smart but i knew everything back then. lol
