Re: Centerstand Dynamics 101

Neil.

I'm kind of surprised at your theory.
Accepted wisdom in the biking world is that the sidestand is
much more stable, especially on ferries (I could write a whole
book on that topic!), hills, unstable ground etc., as the bike
is already leaning at maximum tilt in one direction and cannot
go any further in that dimension. To topple the bike, you would
then have to raise it to the vertical and push it over in the
opposite direction, which takes considerably more doing.
I hardly ever use my centre stand, except for filling the fuel
tank, these days.
