well technically yes. it was before bar time, and we both did not have anything to drink, hence leaving early since we got bored. i offered her a ride back to her place, which is like 5 blocks away. she's ridden with me twice before, but no other times with any other rider. i offered her my helmet as usual.
when i mounted and got myself positioned, i noticed that the bike went awfully heavy towards my left, she had tried to get on too early. all i remember was trying to get the bike back up, but i just slowly let it down.
i asked her right away if she was ok. she was, standing straight up with a scare on her face. the bike slowly died on its side. i was thinking, 'oops.'
she kept apologizing, but i said it was ok. i was worried about lifting it up by myself. sure enough i remembered the 'how to lift your bike off its side' thread...that didn't help me at all. so the bike was on its side, VERY slight incline towards the back, since it was a curb. i grabbed the front break, both handle bars, and up it went. full tank and everything. now i'm 5'7", 150 lbs, average shape, i think anyone can lift up a bike with proper body mechanics. i guess working as a CNA helps too.
so there. not much damage, but a story to tell.
