Bike for the girl

About this picking up the bike all alone thing: At the Cycle world show, Harley Davidson had an area where they were giving instruction/demonstrations on how to pick a bike up aimed more so for women riders. I forget the exact model used in the demo but recall it weighed just at 700lbs. My wife at 5'2" 120lbs was able to get the bike up using their instructions/technique. Our sport bikes are almost half as light so using the same technique I would think most women could get their bikes back upright.
