I would rather have an occasional (alcohol induced) hicup and try to start the bike in gear without the clutch pulled in than to have the bike roll forward off the jiffy stand and fall over unattended!
On more than one occasion, I would've found that to come in handy with my '04 and '06 bikes. [sm=headbang.gif]

Wonder when they'll have to start puttin' a kick stand switch on 'em 'cause of idiots doin' unplanned donuts?

I was a little uneasy of the movement as well until I saw a demo where two guys pushed a FLH around on the concrete to show the stand design in action.
Hope this helps.

Unplanned donuts, [sm=icon_rofl.gif]
Or a switch seat for the guy who starts it in gear while standing next to it. Kind of like a forklift, if there is not weight on the seat, it kills the engine. Just more stuff to break, all in the name of protecting idiots.

It has a lock tab on oit that is keyed so it can't go too far once it engages. Sit on the bike when you deploy the stand and lean it over if it makes you feel more secure this way.
