    A few more:
    Keeps bike upright when parking on hot asphalt, dirt, or other soft surface.
    Cleaning rear tire and rim from grease from chain.

    My favorite:

    Makes your bike stand straight up amongst all the Harley's when parked. Kind of like the Pope with a hard on.

    Let's you put the bike on a table lift much easier and not worry about it toppling off and killing you.

    On an HD I just put a motorcycle jack under the frame and can take both wheels off.
    Parking one on soft ground can be challenging though.
