What is the easiest way to put a dirt bike on a stand (not a maintenance lift)?

Question:
I have a Yamaha TT-R 125LE and I want to put it up on a stand to get the wheels off the ground (or at least take some of the weight off of them). I plan on using just a 5 gallon bucket as a stand. Where is the best place to grab the bike and lift it up?

If you have the height and strength, try this.
--Stand on the left side of the bike.
--Bucket on the floor on the left side of the bike, right in front of your feet.
--Left hand on the left hand grip.
--Right arm over the seat.
--Right hand under the rear of the seat.
--Lift up the rear of the bike.
--Use your body as a brace as you're lifting the rear up.
--If you have the strength, pull the rear of the bike towards you and place on Bucket.
--If the bike's a little heavy to move while the rear wheel is up, push the bucket under the bike with your foot.
