"two wrecks" - RIP ACL
Here ya' go -
I don't EVEN try to pull it off the stand whilst astride - just don't have the inseam for it......
The key to getting it easily up on the center stand is to be sure that BOTH feet of the centerstand are squarely in contact with the ground PRIOR to attempting to lever it up. When you upright the bike, push it away from you to insure that the "away" foot of the center stand is actually in contact with the ground. I keep the bike IN GEAR and squeeze the clutch as I step on the centerstand lever. I leave it in gear when I pull it off the centerstand and let the gearing "catch" the bike as it moves forward off the stand as I feel it gives me more control.
