Jiffy stand does just fine.&nbsp\\; If the quake is big enough to knock the bike off the stand I venture to think we would have other issues....

Huh,&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; I would have figured there would be something in the HD service manual about that kind of stuff.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; &nbsp\\; Seriously,&nbsp\\; The stock jiffy stand is quite a sturdy little piece of metal,&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; I would worry about thing falling ON the bike before worrying about it falling over,&nbsp\\; Even if it did,&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; likely it would just come to rest of the engine guard and be just fine!
I've seen touring bike laid down and just come to rest on the engine guard,&nbsp\\; never even scratched the paint,&nbsp\\; just a bit of rash on the chrome guard.

My buddy and I took a quick sprint from South Bay Cal. to Ontario Cal. We arrived at the Ontario mills mall, after entering the mall, that is when we discovered that there had been an earthquake. Our cell phones began to ring... wives of course checking on us and a few others. Needless to say we did not feel anything just enjoying the ride on the 10fwy.

I was at work when that thing hit. I was worried about the bikes falling over, but the Wide Glide in the garage didn't move at all\\; neither did my other bike parked out behind the building at work.
