On the coastal ferries around here... (BC ) almost everyone leaves their machines on the side stands... I usually leave mine in gear as well.. and if you want, the nice ferry people will drag out a pair of wooden chocks for front and rear tire... I saw a smaller (250 cc ?) bike fall off its center stand on a choppy crossing... but he was tight against the ferry wall, so only fell until the seat hit the wall.... you want to make the largest stable triangle and two tires, and side stand does just that ...
