The side-stand of a motorcycle that swings backward to retract. Such a simple yet life saving design. For tech stuff, checkout Windows Surface Hub.

- bigiain 10y agoMy Honda (Spada) has a neat little rubber spike that projects down below the bottom of the sidestand (and folds over when the bike's sat on the sidestand) - which contacts the road and gently folds the sidestand back/up before anything hard hits the road. It's a small thing, but it's _so_ much smarter that the suicide-stand on my Ducati (which springs up then lets the bike fall over when it's bumped or moved by someone not expecting it) and way less frustrating that my Kawasaki's "kill the engine as soon as you kick it out of neutral whenever the sidestand isn't fully up or the switch has got gummed up and dirty again" approach. (But all three are better then my Caviga's occasional "smash and lever you over" the first time you lean it to the left after moving off without having raised the sidestand.) (Writing all this down, perhaps it's _me_ who needs to get more methodical about raising my sidestand before riding off, eh?)
