Pete,
You obviously have a short memory.
"You are equating the practicality of a center stand on a motor cycle with a kick stand on a bicycle. It's an apples and oranges comparison in many cases due to the weight difference between the two."
You claimed it was an apples to oranges comparison due to weight. Most people would argue that vehicles with two wheels share many common goals. Kickstands are practical for everyday use, any other argument is futile.
