Wait a sec... you only have a rear stand?

Get a front one, too, for storage. Ideally a hybrid so you can lift either by the fork tubes or the steering tube. The former is easier, the latter is great for getting the weight off the forks for service and such.

NEVER EVER lift the front first. Rear stand, then front.

Here in the US Pit-Bull is the preferred brand. Bulletproof, designed and built by ex-NASA engineers. In the UK I'm sure there's an equivalent.
