Best technique I have found when putting the bike on the stand and taking it off.... is to gently lean the tail of the bike on your left hip as you do the business at the rear of the bike. I don't have side stands on the race bikes, so this technique works really well. It allows you to rest the bike against your hip while you set the stand away from the bike, or grab it and put it into position.
Richard, I'm trying to picture this. So basically you have your left hip on the tail by the clutch side of the bike and you are facing outward behind the bike. You then adjust the stands to their spools with your right hand then use your right foot to step on the bike stand handle. That sound right?
