Default Kickstand pads

Anyway, I feel for you man. A few years ago I parked my bike in a parking lot that had been repaved within a few weeks. It was hot enough that day that my jiffy stand sunk into the asphalt and when I came back out, my baby was missing a mirror, handlebars were jacked up, tank was dented, and left saddlebag was scuffed all to hell.
Who here carries a kickstand pad in their tool pouch, to use when you have to park on hot asphalt?

Wlbowers,

I just found some examples on google, to show. Those are from the link below, mostly for companies to imprint with their logos, as a give away. But you can buy single ones for $4.00 each.

I dont normally worry about hot asphault up here in the NW, but grass, gravel etc at various rallies, and other events bike parking. I have a freebee when I bought a T-bag... It is small enough to fit in vest pocket.
