I've had it tip over a couple of times. Inclined parking lots SUCK!

I was able to wrestle it so that the lay-down was very very gentle, and then pick it back up. Thank God for crash-bars. No damage at all, other than to my ego. It's embarrassing...

I've dropped mine 2x, didn't find it that hard to pick up when using the standard techniques outlined here and other sites. Don't get me wrong it is heavy but if you use your legs it isn't hard. I've seen a few smaller women use the same technique and muscle up a large Harley.

Re:Tip over time! 2 Years, 7 Months ago  
Mine was another dumba** move on my part. My little bro was backing my car out of the garage and smacked the driver's side mirror, I'm on my bike getting ready to leave, heard him hit the wall, so I get off and start to yell at him. OOPPS... left it running on the smallest of inclines. Down she went, let me tell you I had NO problems lifting that bike up, I was so hot! When it fell it went into first gear and I left a giant doughnut in my driveway. The worst part was I had just bought it a week before. Minor dammage to the bike, no dammage to my brother, he hid for a while.

Re:Tip over time! 2 Years, 7 Months ago  
I rode my bike to church last year and backed it to the curb. I thought I heard the kick-stand click as it went down, but it was the sound of it going back up. So as I was climbing off, over it came with me. Embarrassed yes, but the crash bars didn't even get scratched, lifted it right up.
