That rather depends on whether your legs are long enough to be able to flat-foot the bike on both sides...!
If you can't then you have a bike that isn't suitable for you![/quote]
Then I've been riding a bike that's "not suitable for me" for the past 16 years and, indeed, I did both my Basic and Advanced Tests on bikes that were "not suitable for me".

I have never taken a bike off the centre stand whilst sitting on it.
Quote:Plus standing on the left side means you can't even grab the front brake for any proper control either.
The only time that I could see that being an issue is if you were parked with the bike facing downhill, which suggests you made a mistake by parking it that way (and on the centre stand!) in the first place.
