Falco's are bloody heavy especially when they fall off your Abba stand, and the lot is on the bike lift bench.
Look on the wife's face when I shouted her from the garage to come and give me a hand to lift it back up.
Luckily no damage done to the bike, as the bike rested against the garage wall.
Now where's that deep heat for me back.....
Night all.

I came off mine at mallrory and had to lift the bike off the ground, I would imagine any bike is heavy having to lift from the floor.
I can apreciate what you are saying though

I think the centre of the weight makes it more awkward ... Or I am getting old and not as vital as I once was

Did a simlar thing with a rear paddock stand when only one hook connected...luckily the neighbour heard me shouting for help, it was almost resting on my thigh...rather a broken leg than scratched fairing!!

Ah.... Often was curious of who'd buy them....
To be fair, my mate has/had a pair. I'll never forget seeing him in his green leathers, white boots and a johnny suit!
Near miss

Mine rolled into an unnoticed dip and fell off the stand as I had my back to it whilst doing up my helmet. Six inches further back and I would have broke both legs at once, which would have made picking it up before anybody noticed somewhat difficult.
