Well,I'm not happy to hear that I'm not the only one but thought I was. I had already seen the videos on how to lift it but find that with RA affecting my elbows I still cannot pick it up alone. Pretty embarrassing for sure. Checked out the jack above and since most of my miles are solo may have to look into that. A little pricey but probably worth it ..I've had to let mine fall about three times in 5 years - one sand unexpected stop foot slipped ,one gravel again unexpected and this last time downslope panic stop and down she went ARRGGGHH !. thinking I may be getting too old to ride but not about to give it up. A jack might be the answer ! Thanx for the tip !
