kickstand support
Made an oak support to prevent my scoot from sinking into soft ground etc. My question: when I pull into an area to park, what is the technique to insert the support under the kickstand?
In my case it is in the saddle bag, therefore I must drop the kickstand, dismount and open the saddle bag and retrieve the support. Then what a bitch to lift the bike and slide in the support.
TIA

I have a metal camping plate (an eating plate - looks like pie plate). I keep in my left hard bag. I can open my bag while sitting on the scoot, pull out plate, drop on ground, lower jiffy stand and slide plate under jiffy stand with my foot.
when I get ready to leave, I get on bike, pick up jiffy stand, I can lean over to pick up plate, put back in bag, close bag and ride.....been doing it this way and works like a charm

Most of the time you will have enough support for the bike in the amount of time it takes to remove it from the saddle bag and put it under the jiffy stand. In my case, the bags are always locked while riding so I have to get off bike to unlock the bags. As stated by another poster, you could keep it in your pocket.

Love the idea of "string". Still need a solution to insert the support.
