PARK IN GEAR. Not shouting. Just making my point. Why don't you leave your car in neutral? Same deal. It may roll off. The Savage kickstand has the best working spring I've ever seen. If you get the slightest over balanced and the bike rolls about six or eight inches the kick comes up and you go down or lose your pretty paint job. Now some of you may have trouble in finding neutral before you crank. Mine is really easy. I like to put mine in neutral after I mount, because the clutch is a little sticky and "pops" loose when the starter kicks over. I may take some risk on the road, but I've found after lots of riding mounting up and riding down your drive or across the yard is a good place to fall...usually with an audience of your peers.
