Kickstand -err Jiffy stand
Does anyone else double-triple check the stand & then walk way looking back at it thinking it isnt right? It really doesn't seem like it is far enough forward & is going to fold up.

Always!
I always kick it down and hold it forward with my foot while I let the bike down on it! BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY!
As far as "locking out" when the bike puts pressure on it, it also flips back up when not fully extended and allows the bike to drop like a rock!

Yes, but 800+ lbs. of bike will hold it. Just kick it down/hold, lean & push bike back when dismounting & she's locked. Only concern would be high winds (happens often in NE) so don't park in wind tunnel...

Like others have said, I do hold it with my foot. Just seems like it should be a bit more forward angle.

Yep. I do the same thing. Put my foot on the stand and pull back on the bars to make sure its set.

I modded mine so there is a loop that anchors like an outrigger.
It can even firmly hold the bike with the front pointing down hill.
Not hard to do, just think, what if there was a helping hand down there.
