    Putting a daytime MOT on the r6 just to have a ride with some old friends this weekend.

    Only thing is it doesnt have a side stand and I dont wanna buy one and fit it.

    Other than leaning the beast up against a wall what ingenious methods are there???

    Other than take a paddock stand that's about it really, unless you can stick a side stand on just for the mot?

    For m/x bikes you can get a triangle that slots into the swing arm, I wonder if that would work

    Hire someone as a pillion and get them to hold the bike when you stop?

    Put a real skinny wheel on the front and park it in a bicycle rack ;)

    I'd just pop a side stand on. There only 1or2 bolts and are fairly cheap. You might need to cover the race numbers. Not sure what the law is.
