Stepping o n th e lever requires little e££ort , a n d do ing so lifts both wheels up an d o££ the ground. The stand is sturdy and provides a stable pl atform , which I discovered whi le sitting on the bike to re place the newly-ben t handlebars. (I won 't get into how they got bent. ) Milk crates collapsing and sending bo th myself and my machi ne to the ground a re now a thing of the p ast. The only drawback of the stand is its weight and b u lk. While it 's no t as ligh t as its alu minum com p etito rs, West Ra cing Produ cts claims the stan d is virtually in destructab le. At firs t, it -see med a bit a wkward slidi ng the stand o ut fro m u n der th e bike, b ut after 'o n ly a few races it became seco nd n ature. From now on, m y Saturday night agenda will not include a mad dash through a dark all ey to retrie ve a new "sta n d " for the following day's ra ces. The Kwik Kick Stand is made from sturd y 16 gauge stee l, a n d fea tu res a 118" steel non-skid top for th e motorc ycle to rest o n .
