Thankfully Cory at Camel ADV has made a WEAPONISED SIDE STAND replacement for the Africa Twin. Much much better... (can also be used as a branding iron, whacking stick and pizza slicer)
Background story :-
When I was out training at Sweet Lamb Adventure Bike Academy last year..... I had a tube failure. The tube actually split on the seam, so I've since upgraded only to Michelin Heavy Duty Tubes.....
ANYWAYS..... part of this mini-nightmare was Molly insisting it would only take 5 minutes to change the tube.
Showing me how to pivot the bike on the sidestand and get the rogue wheel into the air.....
EXCEPT..... the standard side stand is so weak, it flexed so badly we had to immediately forget that idea (for fear of the side stand snapping) it really is that bad.
You can forget 180 degree side stand pivot turns off-road.... it won't take it.
But thankfully Cory at Camel ADV has had the same issue and built a replacement
