Just how do you push a Harley off the Jiffy Stand?
You got me there, I just tried and I can't push it off the stand. Guess it's that's nifty little lock Harley puts on the jiffy stand.

Depends on where I park . .I am probably 60/40 neutral / first gear.

Always on the bike with the clutch in when pressing the starter button/

Nuetral unless on a grade then in first. One thing I think we all agree on is that you always pull in the clutch when starting. Can't imagine how pissed you'd have been if it fell.

Park right at the front door on the sidewalk in neutrol. Careful to make shure the stand is extended in the lock position. sidewalks are usually level and under closer watch especially if Im going someware with window,then try to park by window to.
