I hadn't had a bike with a center stand for a few years when I got the CB. And, I was just recovered from my broken hip and wasn't confident of my ability to use the stand.
My "trick" was to enlist a riding pal to stand on the opposite side of the bike with his hands resting on the bar and tail rack frame. Then I did several repetitions of bringing it up until I felt like I had it down. Knowing he was there to catch it if it went awry was all I needed to get the hang of it again.
Do y'all notice the front wheel swings to the right when you bring the bike up? Maybe it's just the way I do it.
What a dipstick! The worst part: it's not even his scooter. Just another busy-body buttinski who decided he needed to "fix" something
