I was also wondering if i could stand that thing up by myself if it went down...

Lucky bugger, I did the same thing except I broke my clutch lever 200klm into a trip with a dozen other R3's.

And every one of those dozen RIII Owners are still here to torment... ummm remind you when appropriate.

How did you get her back up?

I was lucky there was a guy across the road built like the hulk who kindly obliged..

Wow Mittzy, how did that happen?

If you're quick, they're not that heavy at all. When a Rocket first tips over, and depending on how many people are watching, they only weigh about 100kgs. Sadly though, they get heavier with every passing second at an alarming rate. After 5 seconds they weigh around 250kg, 10 seconds you've hit 300kg. After that you might need the TC approach.

For mine, I didn't do it way the little girl shows you at the motorcycle shows with a HD. I just held the handlebars and stood it straight up. Occupation requires me to workout once in awhile, that may have helped a little.

kinda like T.C. almost, amazing what you can lift when you get pissed almost flipped it over onto its other side cuz the stand went up when it rolled forward a little when the tires hit ground. that's where they are supposed to be I politely explained to the bike
