Kelly, Thanks for the additional tip. I weigh in at 155lbs, which proves that technique is more important than brawn.

Actually, I know some people who don't have enough body weight to do this. (I am NOT one of them...) What I tell people to to is to put their hand in the lift area and their foot on the centerstand, and then SEPARATE their hand and foot, like they would do if stretching a big rubber band with a hand and foot. This uses not just body weight pressing down, but also some lifting with the hand. Then the bike just pops up onto the centerstand. A number of lighter-weight riders who've been riding for years had never gotten a bike onto the centerstand until I gave them this tip. -K ================================================================ Kelly Cash Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.the-clearing.org The person who knows "how" will always have a job.
