[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1178120, member: 3828"] On a ferry, when the bike is on the sidestand you only need to tie it down in one direction (pulling it towards the sidestand) the bike will not tip over in the direction of the stand, so you only need to keep it from flopping the other way. On a center stand you would need to tie it down in both directions. As the bike's weight is balanced, it is not all that hard to knock a bike over off the center stand. Rock the boat a little and the bike will be napping. [/QUOTE]
