Fool....If i had no choice but to park it facing downhill (which is never) then it would also be in first gear and rolled forward to take up the slack before the stand was down.

Can't see the vid but I can't think of any circumstance in which I'd park a bike facing downhill! Just turn it round ffs!

That's the hidden, you've not spent enough at the dealer lately, feature kicking in.

going.. going.. gone! DOH! Being what it is, that'll be an expensive mistake! Personally, I just lean it up against a wall or railing.

no steering lock on? and not in gear

but how(why) in hell did they push the bugger backwards up the hill anyhoo? does it have a reverse gear?

built-in self-collapsing sidestand/insurance isn't expensive enough??

Might have been a pedantic interpretaion of the Advance rider advice I was given.. "always park pointing out of a parking space"
