Handling the weight of a motorcycle
Hi All,
OK I'm posting this under Women's Topics, as I have a feeling this is something many ladies - especially more petite ones such as myself! - go through with motorcycles.
What I want to know is, how do all you female riders out there handle the weight of a motorcycle? I'm not talking about actually riding the bike, but rather manouevring it - for example in and out of the garage/parking spaces - and picking it up when it falls over.
I'm assuming you're not all built like brick s***-houses (!), so what's the secret? Do you just get used to the weight of the bike eventually? Or do you all go down the gym and lift weights to bulk up your arm power?! Or are there special techniques for tackling the weight of the bike in such situations?? 
My beloved Suzuki Marauder tipped over today - stupidly, I was just sitting on it taking a rest after a good morning's riding and one minute it was upright, the next it was horizontal!! I didn't have the strength to pick it up and luckily two guys from the Vegemite factory opposite ran over and gave me a hand. Felt like an idiot though.... 
So really need some tips/advice on this, especially from the ladies, please!
