Thin side stand

[AyJay]

Every time I've seen my bike (and others) being strapped down on the ferry (6 times now), the bike does compress the sidestand more. Talking to deck crew though, they've said that they had bikes break side stands (generally super sports machines too - no centre option). And on Condor Ferries where they often immobilise the front wheel and handlebars to keep the bike upright, they've had issues with wheels and forks deforming.

Blimey. I stand corrected. (No pun intended!)
