Bike Stand question

[darth nater]

Apparently at Summit Main yesterday (July 18th), I checked all my bolts except for my kickstand as I lost it in the carousel. Either way, I saw a guy in the beginners group on a newer R6 who seemed to have some contraption that allowed him to put a stand up and down while sitting on the bike (it wasn't a kickstand). Maybe he had the kickstand down, but I was looking for it and couldn't see it and it looked like his bike was sitting straight up and down. Does anyone know what he may have been using?

Had a blast on my first track day and came back in one piece, so it was a good day.

you could get something like a baxley wheel chock.

no, I don't need a wheel chock for the trailer, this is when we were sitting in hot pit waiting to go onto the track. Maybe the sun was getting to me and I was just setting things and he had his kickstand down.

Nate, the baxley isn't just for hauling a bike, you sit it on the floor and you can then just pull into it and pull out of it. A really cool chock.

You could also just train you wife to put the rear stand under the bike and also hold the umbrella for you.

Maybe he installed a center stand?

I apologize for my lack of understanding, thanks for clarification Lee. I would train the wife, but sometimes she is not there when I get back, especially if she is watching from the other side of the track.
