Default Removal of Kickstand

Not that many of you guys would want to do this, but I thought I'd share the info.
I don't use my bike for much around town stuff. Pretty much straight to work where I pull it up next to a fence or straight into the woods for trail riding. The kickstand was always a nuissance to me. Clanging around and sticking out so far that it always hit rocks. Plus my size 13's always managed to push on it. So I took it off. Really straight forward but I figured out one little secret, leave the spring on. I couldn't get it off anyway so I just started loosening up the bolt. Once the bolt came out the kickstand just slowly moved itself up and the spring was loose. Easy.

lol. I'm not feeling well today [:'(]. Hopefully this doesnt come back and haunt me if one day a ***** name is chosen for me.

Anyway now that my head is somewhat clear, aside from the sawmill that is going on inside of it, I would seriously leave the kickstand. Thats one of the things I love about having a DS is the kickstand

Oh and I'm sure I made about 30 drunken crank calls last night.

hahaha. No I was still faithful while inebriated. Its pretty funny sometimes seeing what you or other post while slammed, then coming back the next day and reading it. I did it once before on here, but I couldnt remember which thread it was the next day

Ugh yes, and to make matters worse I think the sewage trailer (the thing thats plumbed up to all of our work/sleep shacks) at the rig here is backing up. It get a nice wiff of poo every now and then.
