You may get such a device in Germany from 'Louis' or 'Motoport' (I believe approx. DEM 25,--, I may give you contacts if you wish). The idea is to have the bike standing on the front-wheel (fixed break!!!), the side-stand and this tool. But according to my local Motoport-Dealer it is not very stabil. One of his clients told him, that his bike felt down several times (even if the ground is smooth) - it might be better to lay the @ softly on the side than risk the hard touch...

Waiting for summer in Germany...
