2 minutes for the guy to get the scoot off the center stand! Just like the the inspector said, it is easy to tell he was holding the front brake on. As Bugs Bunny would say "What a maroon"!

Wow! I think she wrote "FAILED" on the form after the first 3 minutes. Holy Crap!

When I had first seen this video a few years ago it was funny, and it's still funny!

I think that alone could fail you on the skills test here. At very least I'd feel like an ass. I don't think there's anything specific to the center or side stand operation, but IIRC there's a note about the examiner being able to fail you if you are unable to properly operate or control the vehicle in any way. It would be understandable, since the guy is on a scooter going for a motorcycle license. If you can't figure out a centerstand on a scooter in that amount of time, I'd be worried about you operating a clutch and shifting and handling a larger bike in general. Plus it shows a lack of preparation.
I failed my first attempt at a test because my helmet had no DOT sticker. They have all sorts of ways to fail you. They can fail you for crossing onto a white line at a stop sign if they want (not even over/past, onto). I also remember my instructor being in a hurry when I came back to test the next day, because they were busy. Seems odd since you have to schedule, so maybe they need to learn to schedule better. At any rate, from his lack of patience the 2nd day, I think I would have failed in about 30 seconds or a minute if I did that. I was trying to sign the damn electronic signature thingy after the test and it wasn't working for me and he was aggravated. I wasn't so sure he wouldn't fail me for their junk equipment from his tone.

I would not be shocked if that guy signs onto this site: "Hello, I am having serious trouble with my center stand. It is always jammed and I can never get it to fold up when I want it to. I almost failed my license test because of the stupid thing. I am holding both the front and rear brakes when trying to fold it up...is there anything else I should be doing? I oiled it with 3 quarts of 10W-40 but still, it will not fold up. Also, if I do not put the key in the ignition and turn it, it will not start. Is this normal?"
Maybe some folks should just walk?

Using the side stand... or just laying it on it's side. Putting a for sale sign on it. Staying inside of your house/apartment.

When this video first came to light years ago someone thought that it might of been combined brakes. Like the Honda system. You operate the back brake, and the front comes on too. I think just stupidity myself.

I think if this guy some day "kits" his engine, he is about half way there from doing a brake stand.(mind you he will have to be off the center stand)

Bill Maybe his "Mechanic" said it needed to be down all the time.
