Gen 1 Side Stand |

Has anybody had a problem with the side stand on their Gen 1? My bike seems to lay over more than it used to. Is there a chance something is worn and could break allowing the bike to fall over. There does not seem to be anything lose. I presume a second hand one could be just as worn?

To preface this, I’m now a very much slower rider than I used to be. I tend to stick to speed limits and allow sufficient space to stop or take evasive action as and when necessary.
I’ve hurt myself enough times to know it hurts.
So…Just back from a gentle ride in country. As part of my circuit I go down some narrow roads. They’re sufficient for two cars to pass if you’re careful. Today, however I came round a blind corner and found a group of 5 or so cyclists filling the entire road. One of them was so far over onto my side of the road she was in the gutter! As I said I travel at a speed that I can take action and stopped OK. They looked shocked when I unleashed a few choice words.
Later on the same road two herberts decided it was Ok for them to fill the entire road by cycling two abreast and just weren’t moving even slightly out the way.
On a bike I’m just about as “vulnerable “ as them so why do I have to jump in the hedge to miss them and why don’t they accept as least some of the responsibility for their own safety?
Rant over but it boils my blood!
