I have a sort of related question to forum members. Who mounts or dismounts their bike without the sidestand being extended? In my youth I did all the time.
On my Norton's I dismount with the side stand still up because they are very hard to extend while you are mounted on the bike. On some of my old BMW's I owned in the past, you would get in the same habit because they have a reputation for the side stand to not be fully extended and they fall over!
However, on all my other bikes, CB1100 included, I always have the side stand down when I mount and dismount.
