And because of some health issues, I have lost a lot of the strength I once had.

On the first attempt, I couldn't do it.

Then rolled a 3/4" board under the rear wheel, and gave a grunt...




On the second attempt, besides adding the board under the rear wheel,
I altered my holding and lifting technique. The bike popped up on the stand.

I had to keep an eye on the front handlebars. They kept wanting to flop to the side.



A few concerns:

....ground clearance...



.....and for off road riders, maybe a way to snag a branch or rock???

....make sure the kick stand is down before taking the bike off the center stand.

....and maybe a warning for those working around the bike when it is on the center stand...

...it only took a slight nudge for the bike to roll forward off the stand.
