ScubaCinci Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) ...but not what you think. I was manuevering the Tenere around in the garage last night because I had planned on riding into work today. I was between my wifes car on my right and my SUV on the left. I put the kickstand down and started to dismount by leaning left to rest the bike on the stand. My spidey sense went off and I quickly righted the bike and sure enough, the thud of the kickstand I heard was not it reaching the deployed position but the stowed position The bike with the armor and luggage is probably pushing 700lbs. Had I not noticed it, I would've fallen over into my months old SUV, damaging that, the bike, and probably putting a serious hurt on me in the process. No way mi wife was going to pull the bike off of me either. I did this once many years ago on my first street bike - a CBR600F4I, except then I was outside and fell over into a mulch bed with nothing hurt but my pride.
