Actually, for motorcyclists (Brian and others), the DC6150 are a great
source of kick-stand plates.  You disassemble the cartridge and use
the metal plate (be sure to leave on the metal posts and stand-offs).
When you need to park your scoot on wet ground, simply place the plate
post side down under your kick stand.  The plate keeps the scoot from
sinking into the dirt and the posts act like cleats.
