Abstract

An attachment for a kick stand of a motorcycle which substantially increases the support surface area of the kick stand when it is used to support the motorcycle in the upright position. The substantially increased surface area eliminates the possibility of penetration of the kick stand into a penetratable supportive surface. Automatic movement of the kick stand from its extended position to its retracted position causes a base plate to pivot to a stowed position spaced from the foot plate.
