Careful with your centerstand

I'd like to add that I'm not a commuter any more. I'd commute on a pogo stick first if that meant I could not afford to keep my bike in shape to hit the road.There have been times in years past where I didn't own anything but two wheels. But now in my older age I've reserved my bike for one thing...the passion of touring and traveling. I guess I've realized in my meager life that nothing is more important than what makes one feel alive...something that makes life worth while. For me that has always been the passion of hitting the open road. I have so many stories to tell, so many memories to look back on. I've had a great life in the realm of motorcycles...nothing in life has given me more pleasure in life than touring. I also realize that I have learned a lot from the ancient days of strapping 50 pounds of gear on a ten pound rack and hitting the road. I have it figured out, for me, the things that make life on the road more enjoyable, more pleasurable with the least amount of stress, trouble, pain, and inconvenience. The center stand is just one small part of making life on the road and at home so much less of a pain.
