Off Kings Creek Rd. Not sure if this road has a name, the kind of place that's hard to tell if it's public or private...

There are dozens more old/abandoned cars strewn about farther in but you get the idea

The kickstand sunk into the soft dirt. This is where light weight is gold.

You know, these things are pretty cheap, $8 for a pair on the 'zon, fit in your pocket, and even color match your KTM...

I used to carry a crush soda can. Those are free.

I find a rock or stick to help out, also free and you don't have to bring it with you.

Yeah, the 3 ounces those things weigh really make them unwieldy....

Rocks and cans are fine, til they're not.

It's not the weight, it's the space. Some people attach better feet on the end of their sidestand too, so they're always there.

I haven't had a bike sink into the dirt yet, and I get off of my bikes a lot in dirt areas. Gary856 should have checked the ground a bit more carefully.

Yea, but then you have to get off the bike to find it, so it's a bit of a chicken/egg problem.

On my VFR I carried a 4x4 piece of 2x4 in the tank bag.

That was very nice as I felt the VFRs stand was a bit short, so tossing down the 2x4 not only made for a stable platform but it didn't lean so much. It was also easier to use than the center stand.

Dude, you have a typewriter case on your KTM, don't you...

The thing fits in a pocket. I carry one in my tail bag, I got them mainly for my KLR, but it's there on my Z as well. Don't need it often, but it's there.

Even got one for free out at Laguna one year.

No worries.

Rode a bit today doin one big loop from Prunedale to Alviso and back. Had a little bit of vapor lock issue on 880, but that was a nervous but easy fix.

At Our Lady Star of the Sea in Alviso

Boring shot of the SuperRatna, but I stopped at Lexington to have a bit of brown bag lunch down by the water.

The Peanut Butter Bagel of truth. I have no idea why it’s upside down.

Kinda has a JAWS movie poster vibe!
