Did you see that dude swinging the bike around on its centerstand. #1 that`s some strong guy! #2 that`s pretty hard on the centerstand,no?

Fk yea!

That's how I do it in my garage. Ride in, park, swivel turn, ready to ride out.

I park it on scrappy carpet so the stand doesn't get ground down, plus my stand has welded reinforcement at the contact point.

It's easy to do, more about balance than strength. Ensure the stand is well cared for though, with tight bolts and greased bushes.

Note at 2:50 the bike merging onto a busy highway.
Safety film, my asp!

How else do you hope to achieve a significant level of sack?

Just make sure to do it the same amount on both sides so the bike won't list to one side on the centrestand.

Fortunately, sacked stands aren't an issue for an R90S.

The fabled reputation enjoyed by this model means that we R90S owners need tolerate few of the issues encountered with the "lesser" models in the airhead range. The Silver Smoke bikes in particular seem to evade the more common airhead problems, instead benefitting from enhanced reliability, power, handling and braking characteristics which few other bikes can rival. Oh, and unsacked stands.

Although the video downplays the true abilities of an R90S and merely conveys a brief taste, nevertheless its superiority is clearly evident. If ever there was a bike capable of being ridden on water, the R90S surely is it . . .

You are correct sir

All through the first 4 minutes, I kept waiting for Jim Rockford to go by in a gold Trans Am.
