Thank you all for your replies.
I posted about my embarrassing incident as a “after action” report that might save others from the same problem. Something I went thru during my working career.
As to picking up the bike - I am sixty one and have 2 artificial knees and a
fully healed broken femur caused by a gun shot wound 30 years ago, that still hurts from time to time. I have no problems with my back or neck and don’t want to start.
Of the three of us who lifted up the bike I was the youngest. My waterfront neighborhood is full or retirees who keep boats behind their houses to go fishing, not exactly a stressful physical activity.
One poster asked why I had to lean the bike to the right to set down the stand. A good question considering how poorly I worded my description.
What I meant to say was I shifted the weight to my right leg, before my right foot slipped.
I’m looking for advice on proper footwear for the CB1100 or any bike. I’ll start a new thread.
This is a great forum. The most civil of the three I belong to - one about boats, one about firearms, and this one.
Mike
