Ditto. With my small toy hauler and big bike, I have a tight squeeze anyway on the sides of the bike (especially for this 60+ y.o., 6'4", somewhat fat, and inflexible body) to get my straps secured. Leaning on the side stand would make it next to impossible to get to the left side of the bike. The additional support it provides in transit is a bonus.
I also didn't want to drill holes in my floor, and I didn't want a permanently installed object in the middle of the floor for when the bike wasn't loaded.
