Kickstand / Bikestand?

[Dat Guy]

So I really like my new Spyder. The only thing I can't figure out is where the kickstand is. I understand the parking brake and that's a great idea, but I just can't figure out how to get the bikestand to come down like on the BMW bikes. When I press the brake really hard the floorboard flops down but that's all. I think mine is broken? Anyway, hopefully if you read all this you didn't take it too seriously and it gave you a good laugh. I got the idea to post this when earlier today someone asked me, "Where's the kickstand on it?", and I had a good laugh myself!

Question :shocked:: Do you need a second kickstand to support the other side of the bike? :dontknow: :D

One afternoon on a ride a fellow rider had a really nice Harley 3-wheeler in our riding group and he actualy had a kickstand mounted on his Harley because a club he belonged to had a rule (supposedly to keep trikes out) that if your ride did not have a kickstand you could not join. Creative thinking is cool.

Only on a subserviently accelerated downward twisting curvature of a road.

Personally, I would not want to belong to such a club that has elitist rules as this. I ride with Harleys and Spyders, and recently a Harley buddy of mine took the time to give his club a lesson on ryding in concert with Harleys (and other 2-wheelers) and Spyders in a group. Many Harley owners simply didn't know how to ryde staggered with Spyders...so often want to stick them in the back of the pack. I ryde in the back of NO pack, so this tutorial was not only needed but appreciated by all (2 wheel & 3 wheel alike). He rydes a Harley & his wife a '10 RT, so he was quite qualified to speak on the subject of 2 wheel/3 wheel integration.

not a sidestand but having a center stand would be nice for those tire/belt related issues. But one does get asked even when the riadster is standing fine in front of them....:roflblack::roflblack:

Aha! I knew that you'd have the correct answer safely tucked into your thesaurus! :2thumbs: :clap:
