its called center stand, and strenght has nothing to do with it, put most of your body weight on it then push the bike backward while keeping weight down on the stand. dont lift, just pull back like ur backing ur bike out of the garage

+1 i almost never use my sidestand

Don't they have spades over there?

Yeah they do but you have to find a mexican if you want to see it used properly.

[dwnundabkr]

when you need to use center stand the best way is to stand on the center stand at the same time push bike back, try pushing the center stand through the ground works every time dont need very much strength to do this

[Subike]

Can't do it. GAH!!!
Just makes me angry that I can't do it.
Good day, gents!

OMFG and its only a 250!
Bud you can do it.
Im 75kg and own an XS1100 Yamaha I can get THAT onto its center stand.
and if you think thats not a mission,
Im sure others will agree that it is at 350KG

As for the vidio at the start, have seen that happen up by taupo, mate came in too hot for a corner, and went pig hunting on a bonny....

Remember, many Americans have more time on their hands than brains, and, as they invented the internet, they like to put stuff on it to make the rest of the world laugh. Especially with George Bush not going to get re-elected, the world needs a good laugh now and then.

F-me if that does not hurt!

You can buy a centre stand for my Hornet - its a factory accessory
For a cool $500

I got a race stand for $110

Love them.....of course remember that mercins have a great license system over there...no restrictions on learner bike size. Often read about getting the learners and going out and buying a V-Rod or a GSXR or R1 as the first bike..and they wonder why we have youtube clips like this......

Lesson 1, If your going to make a twat out of yourself then don't do it with a camera around or it'll end up on the in-tar-net!

I was sure that the HD couldn't pull the shrub out, and that it was likely to end in tears. I tried to pull a shrub out our front garden with the Pajero we had at the time - even with it in low ratio, it wasn't going to budge. Ended up cutting it off at ground level, then sawing into the stump and putting weedkiller on it.


After 8 or so years, it's now doing nicely, and is back to the size it was before.

Hey Viffer,

I got my tee shirt for the Buell 25th anniversary 'Homecoming' in Wisconsin.
I'm not going, but they sent me the tee anyway.

Slogan on the back is

'Loud Fans Save Lives'

Harley Davidson: 0.
Small shrub: 1.


Lesson learned: Look in the direction you want to go (and he did just that).

thats what happens when you use a toy use a real truck my old landcrusier was a stump puller and that was with the old 6 in her was even better with the 350 in her but that is another story

I'm rather glad that people put these clips on the Internet.

Fortunately all of my bike related stupidity has gone unrecorded.
