BMW ALERT......

Had about 5K miles on my RT, and had stopped next to a mailbox to put a letter in. Jumped off the bike with it still running and as I am putting the letter in, I hear my bike make a huge crunch. Still wondering why the kickstand on those bikes are not over the center or lock with weight on them. It was all my fault, but even Harley's won't fold over with weight on them as they jump around idling.

To my knowledge, Harley's are the ONLY bike with a sidestand that locks in place with weight on them. It's one of the few and far between great things, that a Harley has.

Actually, the BMW police bikes come with the locking side stand!
