put bike on center stand
Written by gibinmich on 3/22/2012 at 02:22 pm

I carry a small block of wood that is 4" by 3" and 3/4inch thick in my gas
compartment for the rare times that I don't use the center stand; hot
pavement/dirt. It has to be a hard wood, not pine, so it doesn't split. Make a
few for those forgetful moments and as gifts.

the weight being carried on the tire reduct the occurances of the bike sinking
into soft surfaces.

only use the center stand on solid ground. I only use mine on concrete, never
asphalt! If one leg sinks in to soft sun warmed asphalt over goes the bike.
Just something to beware of.
