Side stand or center stand when you park your bike?

Concerning breaking the C-stand mount, hard not to get on your PCX first and then push off. I doubt any of you shove off any other way.
Here is something someone brought to my attention that one doesn't think about... wind.

Like from a non-stop express

NC700, nice
Hogging two bays, not nice
My steering only locks in the other direction

I like the idea of parking on the platform, not possible in the UK, ooooh no.

Side coz 2011 version. I'll use he centre stand if I'm parked tightly between bikes on the street which is rare for me.

Center Stand just because my Metropolitan only has CS, but I am getting familiar with the side stand and I like it

I always use the centre stand, always forget there is a side-stand tbh - maybe once a year?

Usually side stand unless space is an issue.

This was on the 2013’s or there about right ? Weren’t the center stands on the later models a different design to correct this issue ?

The issue was on the original non eSP model, manufactured from 2009-2011 I believe.
The centrestand mount lugs were significantly beefed up on the eSP engines.

To park: Side stand to get off the bike. This also kills the engine and disables idling stop. Then always center stand with side stand still in open position.
To go: Take the bike off the center stand and lean it on side stand to get on the bike. This is particularly helpful when Termoscud is installed.
