I was taught to use the left foot for raising a bike onto the centre stand because you will have better control if it starts to topple away from you.

---

I usually wear a shoe on my left foot. I use my stocking-clad right foot to raise my bike onto the center stand. I generally don't use my rear brake pedal, so a shoe is really not needed.

---

You ride with only one shoe?

Hi,easy way to put your bike on centre stand,you need a piece of timber like a high skirting board,25 mm thick shamfer one end.Put it in front of rear wheel and roll the bike onto the timber you will need very little effort then because the bike is almost to stand height.good luck works great for me.

Personally I have had zero difficulties getting any bike I have owned onto a centre stand but for those with an RS with ESA just put the bike on "Max" and let the ESA do the work - saves carrying a 25 mm skirting board with you everywhere you go!

Can the timber above be removed once the bike is on the center stand or do you have to leave it in place?

---

Once the bike is on the centre stand ,just slide the timber away and if the tyre is still on the timber slightly in crease timber thickness

Around 1983 I purchased a 'ride on/ride off' stand for my new R100RS from a now defunct firm in Basingstoke, which did what it says. You stopped and seated on the bike you pulled on the bars and the bike was on the stand. Get on, put the bike in gear and ride off. Sold the bike 10years later with 100K miles on the clock and only occasionally did I have to resort to getting off to put the bike on the stand.

When on the centre stand, the rear wheel is just over 2 inches off the gound. So, choose a piece of wood that's less than 2 inches thick and you'll be able to remove it.

And I’m definitely not tough enough to do it in my slippers.

---

Hmmm......I guess you should have worked on that instead of wearing skirts

What has wearing skirts got to do with it?

They look really cool
