Is that kind of a anti theft mechanism?

When I used jack stands to keep my 1800 steady while on my homemade
jack adapter, I found the limited presets on the regular jack stands to
be unsatisfying... I found a set of these "infinitely adjustable"  RV leveling
jack stands for $21 at Amazon...

or as "tote-able"!
Anyone who's ever ridden a Wing knows it's "slabsided".
For that matter, seems I remember a post 'bout a Valky blowing over as well.
The flat 6 has such a low center of gravity, & if you're using a bike cover too, it's a real consideration.
Mine's parked in a gravel truck lot (covered) everyday & while I was waiting in line for diesel
I bet the wind changed direction 19 times!
Figured better safe than sorry.
(Wouldn't want the ol' girl to "fall down & bust a hip" ya know!)
Would work well for ferryboat crossings too &
in a pinch I think I could even leverage a wheel off the ground & keep it suspended cooldude
