Someone should tell him to park on a flat level surface and use the centerstand to do inspections. Parking like that tends to be hard on the suspension, he appears to have tweeked his forks already. 8)

It's common practice for race bikes not to have stands, and not unusual to prop them up on a helmet or similar. Somebody should have told this guy to remove his head first !

Ah come on. You can see from the direction of his gaze and the position of his arm that he's checking for play in the swing arm. It's good practice to have a pre-ride checklist surely.
