Lifting up a bike thats got tired and decided to lie down.
Method 1. Twist the bars so they are full lock with the front wheel turned up towards the sky. Bend zee kness grab the lower grip of the handle bars/clipon's with both hands take the strain and see if you can get it to move ie test the wieght. If its beyond you get some help back injuries are no fun if help is avalible its always worth useing. Females can genrally bat thier eyelids a bit and get help pretty quick. Then lift just be sure not to flick it up so fast it goes over the other way. Depending on what side its on might be worth getting the sidestand out before lifting.
Method 2 postion yourself around the tank bar area, work out what you can get a good grip on under the tank handle bars (turn handle bars to full look as in method one before lifting by them) frame under the riders seat etc etc. Turn around so your back is to the bike. Bend with the knees and grip the bike on the bits you had worked out earlier keep back straight and lift.
These are genral guides only no resposiblity taken for any injury damage etc etc. Be also careful if you have just had a spill you may have injuries that haven't started to hurt yet and you can do more damage. Bikes get fixed with only pain to the bank balance people are a whole different story.
Advice hopefully never needed but useful to know.
