Wow, how do I get this to happen?

All kidding aside, I do not really mind a sight glass but I wish i did not have to put the bike on its center stand to check the oil level. The only time I use the CS is to check oil as I am very concerned with the possibility of the bike tipping over while getting the bike up on the CS. I have tried the many tips on getting the bike on the CS but I still cannot do it without assistance. Call me a wimp but I wonder if others have the same issue with using the CS.

Maybe I should start a thread to see if my fear/inability is common?

There is a thread or to about placing on the center stand. It's really quite easy once you learn the technique. I use the center stand whenever the bike is parked at home as it allows me to do a quick pre-ride check of tire pressure and inspection, chain slack and oil level.
