Wilsons Sandbox

The oddest thing I ever saw bolted to a kickstand end was an entire hockey puck. It was on an early model F650 BMW the husband had butchered so his shorter wife would be riding the same brand as him. The forks were WAY up in the clamps, the seat foam cut down to the pan and the rear suspension dropped to the ground. It had to be uncomfortable. The hockey puck was so she wouldn't drop the bike when parking on soft ground - as if the bike could still reach soft ground. eddie

look... Ummmm Dorky, not to mention a washer still is going to sink in sand, my 4x4 plate does somewhat but not like a washer would do.

mostly when its muddy so my plate does not get covered in muck and then put back in handlebar pouch.

dangle it it into place. Once under the kickstand, I put the loop over the left hand grip.
