No offence to the OP, but that's kind of a redundant question. Its like asking what would you do if your handlebars fell off.

Damn, I need a spare kickstand....and tool kit. Wait a minute, what if someone steals my helmet when I'm inside Walmart? Yup, extra helmet. Gotta get a flat tire kit while I'm at it. Today I learned I live too close to a nuclear power plant that's built on a fault line so I should pick up a hazmat suit....and a flashlight...

OMG, now I know why there's so many baggers on the road

While we are imagining unlikely things that *could* happen, what would you do if you were riding down the freeway and then remembered you forgot to put your pants on? Hmmm?

6' something 350# on a sporty....God I hope you got some screamin eagle performance parts on it. Otherwise you are missing out on some power. The things are slow with my 175 pound as on it. Still faster than my Electra Glide tho....

This is why i carry an extra kickstand spring and a half inch wrench. but if i lost the entire stand itself, ride to HD shop, lean the bike, or call on my cell phone and ask someone to come out.
