[QUOTE="Hudson, post: 826675, member: 15488"] Nice ride report. I love it when people actually ride the bike back home instead of shipping it. Much more interesting, and gives you a chance to experience the bike. Don't take this wrong, but I always wince when people mention in their posts about carrying a concealed weapon. Usually not something you want to broadcast, especially if traveling and crossing state lines. Lots of odd differences from state to state about how to store, whether you can carry it loaded/concealed, etc. I get why you wanted to carry, but you might want to keep that info on the lowdown. Only you and God need to know you are packing. For the centerstand, its all about position and leverage. You don't wan't to be muscling the bike, and all the action is in the legs, not the arms. For me, I face the side of the bike, put my foot on the centerstand, lean slightly inwards towards the bike, and let my legs do the work of pushing down and letting the bike roll onto the stand, while my hands just guide the bike gently. Welcome to the forum and hope you have many great rides ahead! [/QUOTE]
