I just assumed that I'd back up to it, grab hold of the handlebar end, and the rear passenger handle, and lift. If that doesn't work, I'd like to know before I'm in the same boat.
I have dropped my sport twice, once in a parking lot within the first two weeks of ownership, and once in the driveway, forgot to put the sidestand down. Both times, butt to the bike, grabbed handlebars and passenger handles, eased it up slowly. Heavy, but doable.
...Hint: Carry a couple lengths of cord just in case.
....Worse thing is I picked up a number of big scratches. Tried buffing them out and the. Made the mistake of trying rubbing compound. That made things worse. Can you buy touch up paint? Or do I just go buy the new 2017 GT ...
I ache dropped my GT twice. Both on loose gravel. First time all my fault as I was turning around and thought it would be cool to slide the back wheel thru the turn. Down I went in remote parking lot with no one around. That was good since it was embarrassing. But bad if I needed help. Butt to the bike and was able to pick it up. Second time was at a gravel parking lot. Had to stop on top of a hill to turn around. While fully stopped the bike just went down. Unfortunately wheels where in the high side of the hill making it hard to pick up. Just 1 guy sitting in his car eating his lunch. I struggled quite a bit but finally got it upright. He just sat there watching.

You dropped your bike, why was the guy eating lunch expected to help you get it up? Should he risk hurting his back. Maybe he had a heart condition or a hernia.Maybe he didn't want to embarrass you. Why are you trashing him, you dumped the bike.
Whoa....We all have helped people in similar situations. The guy should have offered to help.
(Ease up and relax. Now that your guy is back you're gonna win another Super Bowl. )
Why should he have helped?....
