It all depends though on how many people are around when you drop it. The adrenaline and embarrassment around a lot of people take a few hundred pounds off the weight and presto you pick them up. Being along or having someone else to blame for dropping it makes them heavier. LOL

*laughing* Funny story!!!!

When I had my bike... I had a similar experience... Just bought it and drove it to a cafe with "lots" of windows. I was cool!!!! Forgot to put the kickstand down and just had to let it fall as I knew I couldn't pick it up!!!

OK... Maybe... not so cool after all!!!
