I refuse to call it a "side stand", too BMW for me.

Jiffystand. If I didn't know better, I'd say the British had something to do with it.

Kickstand for me. A few other terms I refuse to use, its my bike or my Harley, not scoot or sled. And its a CAR not a cage.

No, mate: we'd call it a side-stand. Like a centre-stand only at the side.

Funny, I was looking up "kick stand" in the manual and couldn't find anything. Then I stumbled across "jiffy stand". That's just spiffy.
