petitepedal ★ Posted July 2, 2014 Share #1 Posted July 2, 2014 Okay so they are gonna install new driveways and parking lot at my Condo...Construction is from the 8th to the 23rd....after that ..they are saying no motorcycles (I wanna say they said for a year on them...) due to kickstand digging a hole in the new pavement (whatever kind of surface they are doing)..and from July to the end of October...they want you to move your car daily so as to not cause the pavement/asphalt to sink or whatever...while it cures... Is this hooey??? or is there some truth to it???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
az_cyclist Posted July 2, 2014 Share #2 Posted July 2, 2014 The kick stand can defintely cause a hole. I am not sure how long it takes asphalt to cure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerrySTL ★ Posted July 2, 2014 Share #3 Posted July 2, 2014 Truth. And don't even think about riding your bicycle on it. The narrow tires can leave grooves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopped Liver Posted July 2, 2014 Share #6 Posted July 2, 2014 Truth. And don't even think about riding your bicycle on it. The narrow tires can leave grooves. So that's how they make rumble strips!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Kosciuszko Posted July 2, 2014 Share #7 Posted July 2, 2014 Asphalt will deform in response to a concentrated force over a small area (motorcycle kickstand) or repeated forces in the same area (parking in the same spot). It's almost like ice, which responds to pressure much the same way. The key is to spread out the forces, such as putting a metal plate under the motorcycle kickstand.
