This is the next installment of a collaboration with Shane Conley of How2Wrench, a longtime friend of Motorcycle Missions. Shane was one of the first technician content producers on the original YouTube platform, whose work has reached DIY enthusiasts in over 230 countries, with 32 million visitors to date. Anyone working on their bike, from newbies to seasoned mechanics, can benefit from his more than 800 video lessons on mechanical, electrical, safety, business, and mentorship.
I know what you’re thinking: “But I already know how to use a center stand!” Okay, maybe you do, but hear me out. Like Krystal, I’m a woman on the smaller side, and many of my bikes have been a heck of a lot heavier than me. Add a full rack of gear ready for touring, and that’s one unwieldy beast to get up onto the center stand. Shane breaks down the dynamics of center stand use so that you never need to hesitate again. And even if you think you know how to use a center stand, there’s no shame in sharpening your skills. Enjoy!
