I haven't had any issues yet but I came out of my work the other day in the afternoon and a couple other bikes were sinking thru about an inch. It was only abot 85 deg. I've heard the little disc that comes off ofthefrozen juice concentrate works well. small, light and strong.

 

I've seen a few bikes go over... try and find concreate... or flat rocks... usually they'll be a can or wood somewhere in the parking lot so I hardly ever bother bringing a can to crush.

Back in the days of centerstands, I came out to find my bike had sunk in enough that the rear wheel was on the ground. I guess I ruined someones parking lot :-/

 

Metal light switch cover from lowes or homedepot, will fit under the seat easily enough.....

 

thats a really good idea i never thought of that

 

I got a kickstand plate from ebay for like 2.50 shipped. Works great

 

My insurance company (Progressive) gave me a plastic plate with my policy, works great.

 

1/4" scrap aluminum

 

My buddy just bought a new 600RR and parked it on some fairly new asphalt in Mass. When he came out a couple of hours later it was on its side and broke the foot peg clean off! Now don't that suck for having 12 miles on a new bike!

 

Same wavelength, different material .. I carry a small tile bought @ HD for .99ยข and stuck .50ยข worth of adhesive backed rubber on top for non slip
