Anyway, it turns out it's pretty easy to lift. One hand on the bar, one on the grab handle, and up she comes.

(Actually, it was so easy I did it twice, I'd already picked it up before I took the photo, so I could get the camera out of the top box, then laid it down again for a quick photo :D)

Lol thats just the kinda thing I do - I am pretty short but never have a problem picking the bike up althought I did get stuck with both wheels in seperate ruts that took a while to sort outas I couldnt rock the bike

Me too, as you can see below, but sometimes its good to pause. It certainly is heavy but 'with help' is definately the easiest way if its avaialble. As for fuel leaking, only really an issue with a fairly full tank or facing down hill.

Great looking trail though Tim. Full marks.

I meant to post one or two of these bust looks like you beat me to it :)
You were certainly quick off the ground though, i was convinced I had a pic of you rolling around in the mud!

I've never had a major problem with fuel leaking much, even with a full tank. A little perhaps but nothing to worry about. I dropped my bike twice on a hill the day this was taken with a full tank without any obvious fuel leakage.

Agree on 'help' being the easiest way to lift the bike. Thats my excuse anyway :D
