    Took about 10 minutes for the adrenalin high to go away. I was late to work, but jubilant nonetheless. Must remember to check that sidestand is down before letting go.

    Amazing how motivating fast scrolling dollar signs are.

    Good work.
    That sort of effort can be good for pulling a muscle strain... amazing how instinctive it is to try and save the bike.

    how big does that plate need to be?

    (I'm 68kg and my bike must be well over 200 , (gsx1100g). You'd have to be superman to catch her off the footpeg.)

    A previous owner welded an extra pad to the bottom of the kickstand so it's always there but I wonder if it's big enough for all situations. Mine's about 2/3 the size of a cigarrette packet.

    Seriously, a squished drink can will do the job. No point spending money on a marketed product.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
