TE auto-retract kickstand; who likes them?

It's kind of scary that a bike this heavy can tip over on it's own due to a faulty stand. Picture a small child walking next to the bike and having it tip over on them. You'd think that the manufacturers would figure this out. If there was a documented issue like this on a car, there'd be a recall. Or maybe recalls don't happen until there is a lawsuit?

On my '09 te 250 I have been concerned with the likely event of a fall-over when parked by a passing person tapping the bike or when my big dog brushes-up against everything in my garage. So I now hook a bungee cord to the spring loaded kickstand and to the front wheel turned to the left-hand position. This has offered me stability and piece of mind

This is a great topic, even though I'm late, the other day I started my 08 te450 in the front of the garage to let flush the oil, went in the house for 8-10 min, when i came back out the bike was backing down my driveway into my jeep (-: , I was like go baby go, good thing it didn't fall over but it was GREAT
