Bikes (...) create significant property damage and anxiety

A $28k (price tag conspicuously attached to it?) Harley all of a sudden slipping off its centerstand? Were you standing that close to the l/h side of the bike when it fell to the right? What centerstand are you talking about anyway?

Regardless of such details, THANKS for your preventive push.

The dealer had taken the H/D on trade and put it out on the front lot that morning. The lot is that soft-black asphalt, and our weather is very humid, so I figured that the centerstand either slipped on heated asphalt or someone didn't pull the bike back enough. That kind of bike shouldn't be left on it's centerstand, but the dealer brought the bike back inside and put it back up on the centerstand they should have just left it on it's kickstand; but I guess if a bike is large it looks better when it's upright.
