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.
I don't ever use the side stand; I get off the bike with it being vertical, and put it on the center stand immediately. I also don't ever move the bike without being on it. Awkward, but less risky.
Thanks to my turntable I don't have to back the thing into the garage anymore either. I'm all for minimizing risk and I don't see the side stand as risk avoidance at all.
