Default Help Me Pick My Bike Up

hey all!!

i'm still fresh to the world of bike riding but i had a GREAT ride last night in the 40 degree weather. the only problem i had was that i came to a stop kinda hard and was trying to hold the bike up but ended up laying it down. but i couldn't pick my baby back up!! i'm all of 120 pounds and my sv650 is all of what, 400 pounds?! i had to get my boyfriend to pick it up. he tried to show me how to do it but my baby was not budging. now, what's going to happen if i'm riding by myself and don't have a strong man to lift it up for me? Any suggestions? or is it "practice makes perfect?"
