Center Stand and Dropped it in Garage

Countersteer, sort of.

Well, find a grassy place where you don't mind dropping the bike and try it out.
As the front of the bike moves right it leans left. If the front of the bike moves left it will lean right. You can support the left lean with your body. You can't support the right lean although you may be able to jerk it toward you.
Until my local dealership moved into larger facilities, they had to move 25 or so bikes out of the showroom to be able to move around and back in at night. Amazing to see the guys do this in such a short time. This is the way they move the bikes off the C-stand.

My first non paper route job was as a 15 year old 140lb porter doing the in/out of about that many bikes from showroom and service bay of the local Honda dealer. I rolled many 450 and 750's off the centerstand and never dropped a one. Don't recall a left vs right directive...just do not drop the bikes!

I still put sidestand down, turn bars to left on a heavy loaded bike and set it down on side stand .Straight ahead on the lift and no sidestand...guess I have done it so often I just don't overthink it.

I'm still wondering about the center stand bolts as well on the OP incident

You can revisit a Best of Forum thread all about on and off center stands here.
Personally, I see it a relationship to a point to grab and how the rider's build (arm length/leg length) to the east of putting a bike on or taking the bike off the center stand. A number of companies sell folding grab handles that really help.
Oh yeah......practice helps as well.
