Pad, Thanks for share this and everything is OK. I've been thinking about installing a center stand for awhile, this hasn't changed my mind, but now I know what to watch out for when using the center stand. Thanks
Good safety heads up .. Perhaps chocking the wheels both ways or perhaps a locking pin for the stand itself would be a good idea if going to work on it..
The locking mechanism would be a great addition! Not sure how it could be done, but when your working on it or the such, you could lock it in to prevent such an issue.
Hopefully the Wheel Dock guys are look at this thread!!! Could be a big selling factor.....
Anytime you park your machine, front tire should always be up or uphill. This prevents the bike from rolling. Parking your bike down or downhill, even in gear, it can roll. You should know this.
You made up my mind. I was paranoid about putting one on even though it would really help me park in the garage. Not worth worrying about it all the time.
Nothing to worry about is right - with the Wheeldock. If you are at the back of a bike pushing forward (or parking down hill) it may roll. If the bike is parked correctly, it will not move.

I am assuming his garage floor is not on a hill or sloped, I know mine is not. Never the less that is good advice, once you explained yourself. I think anyone that does not know this should probably not own a motorcycle...

That would be a helpless feeling for sure!
