movin' off centerstand '03 K1200LT

[bikerfish1100]

I never ride off the centerstand.. I just put the sidestand down and lift the bike off the centerstand THEN get on it and ride away. And I never use the centerstand on the road - it gets used in my garage just to save space.

The sidestand is MUCH more stable in most conditions - makes for a much larger triangular footprint for the bike.

I've never understood the BMW rider's fanatical use of the centerstand. For me - it's for working on the bike (removing wheels..) or for use in ideal conditions where the space is limited (my garage..) But - mebbe it's just me.

it's at least me too Don.
C-stand is pretty much garage only.
