Does your kickstand eat pavement too?

I count no less than three 2-3 inch deep holes out where i park my bike. This hot/humid/wet weather seems to soften up the pavement so much that i often come out to find my bike at a pretty impressive lean angle as it munches its way down. I hope the ol' landlord doesnt put two and two together and figure it out....

Yes, but it doesn't help that it's cut.

Mine never seems to eat pavement, even when its 90 + degrees outside.

But I keep a crushed Coke can with me at all times.

Re: (Apocalypse)

Everytime I park up at work I have to put something down, I know the bike will go down if I don't...cheap a$s re-pave. It gets so soft in the high heat, one day this lady lost her heel in it.

I use a junction box cover plate with some velcro on it so that I can stick it wherever I can find room (behind the battery on my ninja 250).

Re: (Rguy)

Make sure that stand doesn't go too far down. Leaving it in there after the asphalt cools is not cool. haha. seen that happen before and a jackhammer was needed...
