or the time tested sport bike trip where you put the bike on the
side stand, lean the bike towards you (of course you are on the
left of the bike) so the rear tire is off the ground and you can
spin the rear. I have seen some guys that can lean the bike against
their body and thus spin/spray at the same time. Personally on the
9 I had to spin - drop - spray - repeat. Of course this was on road
trips only, where at home I had a pit bull stand :-)

But of course, with the ST, I won't be having any of those problems :-)
