How do you pick up a Tenere?

I can lift my 1200 GSA Bavarian Tractor without even removing the luggage but when the Tenere goes down I'm in deep sh*t if riding solo.

Today was a prime example, I was tootling along all very well.



But when it went down the wheels were higher than the rest of the bike. Even after removing all the luggage I couldn't lift it.



An hour of so I was 'rescued' by a group of elderly French walkers. How embarrassing!

So does anyone have any ideas on lifting straps or the like?
