Company parking lot is not flat, and it's supposed to be windy tomorrow. Side stand is kind of puny compared to what I am used to, and holds the bike fairly upright. Is it possible to blow over a 850 lb bike?

I would think it would take some major wind, as in wind I wouldn't want to be riding in, to blow it over. Uneven lots require that sidestand is on the downhill side when parked, and I always leave my bike in gear when using the sidestand.
The wind doesn't scare me too much, but a slight forward down hill needs to be avoided at all costs. or leave it in gear, the side stand does not lock in like a Harley so it will roll.
The wind, if forceful enough, could possibly blow the bike over but I doubt it would happen unless the winds were extremely high...Side stand is built to hold bike up without issues as far as I know...
