Default When you take the bike off the lift you should…………

Check and make sure the kickstands down before you try to lean it. I got past the 45° tilt and thought it was a goner. The bike was falling away from me and somehow I conjured enough strength to save it.

Another thing I learned “bikes are heavy”.
