Default 94 fxstc storage problem-UK

I have a tiny problem...I have just bought myself a 94 Harley fxstc, not received it yet, should be here next week.
The problem is it is going to have to share my smallish garage, (this is the uk, we tend not to do big garages unless you're a millionaire) with my 92 MR2 turbo (stops my itch for a fast sports car) and the room I can create for the Harley means I won' be able to lean it over on its sidestand.
I obviously don't want to try to lean it against the wall. I was wondering if any of you have faced the same dilemma and if so how you have achieved it.

A jack with rollers might do the trick.

Or a wheel chock that will hold the bike upright.

Or sell the Toyota and buy more bikes......

We get that. Also, "Rumpole" has been seen on this side of the pond, as it's been aired on public television.

Cheers!
