Yeah, but the friendship only begins after we've spent 10 minutes getting it all together - especially with front lift!
I just line the bike up, stand next to it using my hips to take the weight with my left hand in the grab bit at the rear end on the other side(to stop it going over), then put the paddock stand in place with my right hand, was alot easier with rear pegs on but looks better without. Never had any issues doing it this way
