New OLD Guy with Questions

[Switchglide12]

Let me chime in, I have 2019 Niken GT and my previous bikes were BMW R1200 GSA and HD Ultra Limited yes I have dropped both BMW and HD. It was much easier to pick up BMW then HD. As far as Niken my brother and I lay the Niken down in my garage. I want to see if I can pick the bike up by myself. Bike was fully loaded with fuel camping gear everything I need for 6 week trip. Of-course I put layers of protection so there won't be any damage. As compare to BMW, Niken was bit easy to pick up mostly because it has 3 contact points to the ground once its up. Reason for this exercise, I am planning trip to Alaska, I want make sure I can pick this thing up fully loaded. In 2019 I did cross country trip on my BMW one of the photo stops on CA highway 1 wind blow the  bike over. Bike was fully loaded I couldn't pickup, had to unload everything then was able to.
