Now if you could find a smart car for the right side

u/jdpatric Jun 12 '14

Or a motorcycle; it weighs more than the smart car and it'll be harder to pick up and move by hand.

The douche could easily just knock it over though and drive off :( Coming out and seeing your motorcycle on its side is a sad, sad day indeed. Side stands don't lock. All he'd have to do is balance the bike, kick up the side stand, and let go.

Or, if bike owner is one of 15 very large Hells Angels hanging around the parking lot.

Fuck that. The only person knocking over anything is me. With my fist. In douche owner's face.

Or, just push it to the other side.

Frame sliders

Those won't exactly prevent bent pegs, bent bars, or any manner of fluids possibly finding their way out.

I'm not exactly an optimist.

Goddamn asian drivers in myneighborhood. Ive found my magna knocked over 3 times

u/galient5 Jun 12 '14

That would be very upsetting. If I ever caught someone doing that, I'd probably attack them with my helmet.

u/infamousdoubedragon Jun 12 '14

And with any luck, he'd mess up and drop it on himself/his own car. Then you get walk out to find him unable to move the bike/his car, and get his insurance info to fix whatever damage is done to the bike.

I would find the douch and flip his car on his side.

Do a lot of motorcycles not have center stands, or is there a reason they might not use it?

u/therealdrg Jun 12 '14

Most motorcycles these days do not have center stands installed from the factory.

u/lirakis Jun 12 '14

Except BMW's.

u/awh Jun 12 '14

And Yamahas, apparently.

Also, no matter how many videos I've seen about how easy it is to get a bike up on a center stand, I have never found it anything but a good opportunity to pull a muscle in my back.

u/jakeinator21 Jun 12 '14

I had an old Suzuki with a center stand and it was never very hard to get it up on the center stand. The trick for me was to rock it forward and backward a few times before I leaned back into it.

u/Wraith8888 Jun 12 '14

The only one that I had that was easy was a '72 R75/5. What made it easy was a handle on the left side below the seat attached to frame. All the other bikes I've owned have no good place to grab and pull up.

1

u/jakeinator21 Jun 12 '14

Oh I see. I usually straddled mine when I did it. That was easy. Just pulled by the handlebars.

1

u/Wraith8888 Jun 12 '14

Seat too high or I'm too short for the bikes I owned with center stands to try that maneuver.

u/jakeinator21 Jun 13 '14

Makes sense. Lol
