No, serious post. Try riding 500 miles to your local BBT and see how nice it is to stop and NOT be able to get off your bike because the Kickstand can not be brought down by your heel like it has a million times. Has anyone else experienced this?

Yup, my kickstand hides from my heel all the time.  There is a MOD that I want to do, I just don't want to drill a hole in my kickstand.

if i am wearing tennis shoes, i can't get that darn stand down for nothing, I have to reach down and use my hand.

If I am wearing my boot's no problem.

Pull the cap off the kickstand nut (if you still have it) and spray some WD-40 or PB Blaster on your nuts. umm, the kickstand nut, I mean. That should loosen it up enough for your foot to find it.

I don't care what other people think. They don't do it very often!
Of Course it's dirty. It's hard to clean when the tires keep moving.

If you don't love what you're doing, then don't do it.
Your chances of success are directly proportional to the degree of pleasure you derive from what you do.

What I do today is very important because
I traded a day of my life for it.

For those still wondering...it's a Yamaha Stratoliner.   O0

Based on the maps found at the link below, this thing can pull a wheelie pretty easy.
