Motorcycle Glossary Dictionary Term - Sidestand

Sidestand: The Sidestand retracts from the left side of a motorcycle and contacts the ground to hold up the machine at a slight angle off vertical. In recent years most bikes cannot be started with the sidestand down since there had been so many instances on older bikes where riders rode off with the sidestands still down and accidents occurred.
