Some days it's just plain tough being a human.

Mine makes me an "honorary member". I was cleaning my bike and moved it around a little bit to do something. When I leaned it back over on the stand, it wasn't locked and it rolled right over onto the guards. If you pick it up like the video posted earlier shows, it's really not too bad and puts no load on your back. You lift it with your legs and your butt aganist the seat. It's pretty easy, but not something I want any more practice with!

Ride (and park) safe!

I got my membership in this club years ago.
I hope I don't don't have to renew my memebership but you never know.

When it starts to go.....might as well get out of way of the lower side. I know a guy that broke his leg trying to keep it up while it dropped on him. I once was waiting on others at gas station on the side of the lot, and almost pulled out with the kickstand still down. Thankfully, a buddy saw it and reminded me before taking off. Can't imagine what that would have felt like when it stuck.

If it makes you feel better to have lots of company, I did the same thing on my 87 Low Rider about 20 years ago. Total Dumba@@!
