Default new here problem with my kick stand

Riding on a dirt road my kick stand suddenly fell and started dragging.
So I held it up with a bungy cord got home and checked it out.
Turns out the anchor on the frame broke off.
HELP

awww, geeze Jerry, I would like to help ya but I have no idea of what kind of bike your riding. Is it a Harley? Maybe a Road Glide or Sportster? Each model has a different means of holding the Jiffy Stand on.
Ohhhh, there it is in your first post. An 04 Road King Classic.
You probably have a small slot in the frame and a tab on the side of the Jiffy Stand. The spring probably rusted through and fell apart. When ya go to the Harley dealer to get a new spring, ya might want to pick up an shop manual for your bike.

Not bein mean or not nice. Just sayin what we would need to know to be able to help him, but then I checked his profile and saw his first post.
Geez, if I didn't like him I woulda told him to get lost, but I didn't now did I?
Don't worry about it Jerry, but ya still might want to pick up a shop manual.
