Andy,

I don't remember my exact technique; so you'll have to 
improvise ;->.  No worries, though.  It didn't take much 
force to push it off the centerstand.

I bruised my right forearm in the process too.  So if you 
want to "out-klutz" me you'll have to either drop the bike 
or draw blood.

My car port isn't 100% level and that might've been 
a factor.  Also, I wasn't considering the possibility of 
pushing it off and didn't exercize due care.

You certainly *could* do it without chocks or strap; but 
I don't recommend it.

| How on earth did you manage to do that?  When I removed my rear wheel with
| the bike on the centre stand I had no such problems.  I just pushed the
| wheel forward slightly to release the chain, before pulling the rim clear of
| the swingarm.  Good job your wife was in shouting distance.  If this had
| happened to me I would have been in big trouble because my garage is a good
| 50 metres from my apartment and with the door shut and Ricky Martin going
| full belt the missus wouldn't have a cat in hells chance of hearing my
| screams!
