psshhhh cell phone works in a jam
touchscreen still works too.

WINNING


...clamshell and no expensive smart phone helps too.

feeling semi retarted but where is the 'what did you do to your bike today thread?'

 

Bill Engvall - Here's Your Sign. ;-)

 

A crushed empty soda/beer can works just as well, and easily should fit under your passenger seat. It's also a lot cheaper on your pocket book.

 

no problem, the bike comes first.

 

This is what I use... Kick Stand Pad.
Put it inside your bike's tail trunk area & it'll always be there when you need it.

 

Wait, did you really do that yourself or did you just find the pic?

:O

I have an old tag from when I lived in New York (Liberty plate) that I cut into a shape that snaps inside my trunk. Looks cool , Stat Liberty in the middle. Its been in service for 20+ years now I think. Always there when you need it and down here in 100+ temps, beaches and asphalt.....you better keep one handy.

 

I was going to suggest that there are cheaper and more durable alternatives but many beat me to it. LOL

 

I keep a 3"x3"piece of 1/4 hardboard handy. I'm a trim carpenter and they are easy
to make/aquire from scraps. No biggy if I forget it behind me either.

Although, the crushed aluminum can is a good, cheap solution, too.

in 15k miles an 3 years of riding that was the first time i 'needed' one

since this is the desert and the ground is normally dry and hard, parking in the dirt is often safer than asphault. however it has been raining a lot the last few weeks and the ground is soggy as hell.

oh yeah bought the bike monday picked up tuesday, bike had less than 100 miles on when i sacrificed the phone. have 6 months left on my cell contract. no caller ID isnt so bad is it?

I totally want the squirrel
Kickstand Kritter-Keeps it up when it's hot or dirty.

 

this is what I use, simple, sturdy, cheap, and shows that I've been on the dragon.
