Center stands are great for backing off tailgaters. If you press it down just hard enough you can throw sparks out that will back everyone off except the cops. Works even better at night.

me thinks sportie doesn't do any maintenace, repairs, I think he pays someone else to do his maintenance. Working on a bike withcenter stand is almost a neccessity.I always park my bike in the garage on the centerstand, gives me alittle moreroom to walk around in the garage. thisis the bomb http://www.wheeldock.com/prod_EZ.asp

I think you are probably right. I don't think that any new bike has centerstands anymore. Apparently a lot of new riders don'twork on theirbikes themselves.Those of us that did/do may be a dying breed.
