| I had my 888 stand converted to a non-flip.
It's not perfect because I like to get on the bike while it's on it's stand in case I lose my footing or my stumpy little leg doesn't sling itself over the saddle properly. That leaves me with the bother of flicking the stand up with my foot, and because of the stand position it's really difficult to reach without double jointed ankles.
In some ways it was much easier when I rode Beancounters SP3, just sling yer leg over, pull the bike upright and off you go. Mind you it was always a bit of a 'hold your breath moment' when putting it back on the stand |
