Do you park in Neutral or First?

Just curious what the ratio of N vs 1st parking is
I normally park in 1st gear maybe there's some cons to that?
I don't find it too difficult on Indians to find N off the bike

I was in the badlands and watched a guys $30k bike roll backwards parked on a slight hill .. on the kickstand.... while in Neutral... painful to watch. There's a time and place NOT to park in N ? :)

Me 95% of the time.... I get home.... put it in N.. .. t urn it off. physically open the garage door and push the bike in.... When I leave simply sit on it and push it back. Stays in N. When out and about, 99% of the time, leave it in 1st. I'm pretty tall so .. most of the time.. it's a weird habit of mine... i reach down and with my hand ... pull that shifter into N ... and start the bike if in a group and know I'll be sitting there a few min running...... in N.
