Interesting as I too have had an off stand moment with my gen1. Had rear wheel out and in a lapse of concentration tried to move bike around by pivoting on its stand...oops. Luckily my garage is carpetted and a big bundle of work clothes cushioned it as she gracefully rolled off the stand. Swiftly picked her up ( amazing what adrenaline and builders arms can do!)...and no damage at all save me heart beating outside my chest !....thank God for centre stands though ...couldnt have done it so easily if it was a paddock stand.
I had 2 seperate moments with my abba stand, on two seperate bikes where in spite of the bobbins being tight , it slipped out of the swing arm recess, and the bike fell down slightly .Its a liability IMO, but you do need them if you R taking yer own wheels out.. Have no need of it just yet , but who knows what I will buy next year !
