Hi. Where do you grab to lift the bike onto a stand? I grab the muffler with my right hand and hold the bike close to my hip, and heave the bike onto the stand. I don't know if this technique will break the muffler mount eventually.

To put the bike on the stand I just grab the bike by the top of the rear rim. Seems to be the best place to grab it.

Some people might tell you to grab it by the ice cream maker but to each there own. :mrgreen:
