ABSTRACT:
A new and improved kick stand apparatus for a two-wheeled vehicle, such as motorcycle, includes respective independently operable, first and second leg assemblies, each respective leg assembly being connected to the vehicle and capable of being placed in a lowered position or in a retracted position by an operator's foot. The kick stand apparatus is for preventing the motorcycle from falling onto one side or the other when the motorcycle is parked. When both the first leg assembly and the second leg assembly are in a lowered position, together they are capable of maintaining the parked motorcycle in an upright orientation. In employing the apparatus, a leg member of the first leg assembly is lowered from a retracted position. The motorcycle is leaned toward the lowered leg member of the first leg assembly, and the motorcycle is permitted to rest in a first rest position upon a foot of the first leg assembly. Then, a leg member of the second leg assembly is lowered from a retracted position. Then, using a sideways rocking motion, the motorcycle is moved from the first rest position to a second rest position wherein the motorcycle rests upon both the lowered leg member of the second leg assembly and the lowered leg member of the first leg assembly. In the second rest position, the motorcycle is maintained in an upright orientation by the lowered leg members of both the first and second leg assemblies.
