Careful!
Don't drop it yet - at least not until you have fitted the 'crash bars.' Two safe ways to get on a. if you are a bit short, leave it on the centre stand, climb aboard and push it off. b. psh it onto the side stand, climb aboard, straighten it up - and away you go. Yes, it all sounds a bit elementary - then just ask around and see if you can find anyone who has NOT dropped it whilst stationary! You'll soon get used to it and wonder what all the fuss was about.
