Centerstand Surprise

Decided to center stand the bike for the first time yesterday evening.  What a great surprise on how easy it is to get up on the c-stand as compare to my C10.  Another :great: for the C14.

Total agreement.
 
I never had a bike with a center stand, and my first couple of times I was attempting to muscle her up; but a nice guy at the cycle show clued me in on the right way to do it, and life is much easier now.

Almost?  Two fingers on each hand AND bare footed.

i tried it barefoot last weekend ... i guess my feet are too wimpy, i couldnt do it.  :(
i can with anything from slippers to riding boots no problem.
 
>I never thought the C10 was bad!

I sure find my C10 easier to put on centerstand when the rear tire has lots of tread on it. I'll be curious to see how things behave if/when I switch to GW 1500 size tires. Currently if I have a worn tire and haven't been riding for awhile I'll tweak my back by putting the C10 on centerstand. Perhaps there's a C14 in my future.....
