Abstract: A kickstand pad is configured to provide a surface on the ground on which a kickstand of a motorcycle rests to increase the motorcycle's stability when the motorcycle is parked. The kickstand pad includes a support pad, a tether, and a hook or clip. The support pad increases the amount of level surface area on which a free end of the kickstand can rest to avoid the kickstand embedding or piercing itself into the ground or soft pavement when the motorcycle is parked, which can result in a dangerous and/or damaging fall of the motorcycle. The support pad includes notches or winding features that facilitate storage of the tether when the kickstand pad is not in use. The tether may also serve as a visual reminder to the motorcycle operator to pick up the kickstand pad before driving away.
