It must be maddening in the moment though ...dropping it cause the sidestand is not down.

Oh....the humanity of it all.

I try to visualize my bike as an airplane that needs its landing gear down before the final approach to the runway/parking spot begins.

The only problem with that is ....it still happens. You would be surprised how many belly landings have occured when pilots quite simply neglected to put the gear down.

You would think that would be impossible with redundant warning systems.

But it do happen.
