Abstract
A kickstand support apparatus for supporting a kickstand of a motorcycle or similar vehicle over soft terrain includes a handle which is elongated between a grip end and a support end. A platform is pivotably coupled to the support end of the handle. A pivot mechanism couples the handle and the platform together. The pivot mechanism comprises a first pivoting member and a second pivoting member which are pivotably coupled together. The first pivoting member is coupled to the support end of the handle, and the second pivoting member is coupled to the platform. The pivot mechanism comprises a pivot lock which is selectively engageable with the first and second pivoting members to fix the first pivoting member with respect to the second pivoting member.
