Glad to see all the advice on center stand technique. Picked up a 2014 GT last week. Had to ride it home in the rain. That sucked. Traded in a Honda PCX 150. Wow, what a difference. Most of it good. But that 150 was a lot of fun to ride. Could really throw it around a lot easier than the GT. And, getting it on the center stand was pretty easy. Weather has only let me ride once since I picked it. Got home and struggled to maneuver it around the garage so I could park it. And then it was time to get it on the center stand. I must be doing it all wrong. I spent a long time wearing myself out trying to get it up there. I finally had my son come out and with both of us working we finally got it up there. Glad no one could see us out there. Hopefully it will warm up and I can get out again and then try again. You all made it sound so easy thatI have hope it's just a learning curve.
