I started a thread re: picking up your bike on the Experienced Bikers Forum. "Don't Laugh : How do you get it up". Scroll down, it's around the 20th thread (pretty recent) on the list.

Lots of great input and links. I haven't dropped my bike since I asked the question, but in the past, I was doing it all wrong and was fortunate not to have hurt myself.

Best of luck,
Janet

I always wear full gear when washing my bike.

Always good to hear a ladies perspective.

I hope I'm not barging in and interrupting with information that someone else may have already given cherokeepati, but have you heard of the "RIDE LIKE A PRO III" video? It is the most amazing video, and so worth the money spent.....

Thanks for all the info folks! I'll have to check into that video, Chromie, and thanks for the input!
Had a hard time one HOT day last week...Almost dropped it because I overheated myself and was not aware of how badly I was out of it. I had stopped after pulling off my exit from the highway and as I was pulling out I was weak and wobbly. After that day (after the temp went down a few degrees) I went back to riding to work. BIG lesson learned there!!! Shook me up with how weak you can become AND how FAST.

You're welcome Cherokeepatie!
And you're right... It doesn't take long in this heat to over-do. Take care and ride safe!
