If you re read MY quote below, you will see that I never said I have had any side stands brake... but in over 20yrs of riding I have seen it done, and I might add that I travel up to twice a month with FOUR bikes on the truck and trailer, I think by now mate that I know the beter ways of tieing down

Just a point here. Although I use the Side-stand while tyeing down the bike, I don't rely upon it. With the two straps I use the bike would stay were it is even if the stand folded. I only use the side stand to start with so I don't have to try and hold the bike up while I'm strapping it down and I strap in the order I do to lesson the chance of it falling while I'm strapping.

Well 24 to 15 says otherwise.
