And I'm not saying it can't EVER be done but weighing close to 100lbs and picking up a 900lb bike on a road/gravel surface sure isn't easy.
Yeah no kidding, that woman is 3x bigger than I am. I can't even lift my little dual sport when it falls. Actually aside from picking up 900lb bikes, I probably can't get some of those bikes upright from the kickstand

That thing hardly "falls" farther than it leans on the sidestand. Anyway- it's much easier if you put the bike in gear or hold the brake.

Sounds like a cool job.

I could handle everything about it but the pay.

900# is not a big deal... just need to know how to do it.

Well I proved yesterday that I could pick up my dualsport (240lb) about 20+ times per day so that is like picking up a 5000lb bike once right? Holy crap am I sore.

Mea Culpa. I thought the job was in Yuma, AZ, but I see that it is in Yucca, AZ. That's even better. That area is the Basin and Range, but right next to the Colorado Plateau. Every road that comes off the Colorado Plateau is like coming down a steep Dragon. Route 89 from Flagstaff down to Congress has to be one of the best motorcycle roads in the U.S. And there's still a billion acres to dirt ride in. Plus, you can go prospecting for gold on the weekends.
