Advice - carry water bottle and side stand plate?

[WhiskeyUSMC1979_imp]

Honestly, when I rode in NC, I would just throw an old crushed soda can in my back pocket. It's not the prettiest side stand base, but on the (all too often) occasion that I forget to pick it up, I wasn't out any real coin. As long as it is big enough to distribute the weight more evenly, it doesn't have to be fancy. The crushed soda can never took up too much space or became a hindrance to carry on the bike.

As far as a water bottle? You got me. I don't ride long enough where I worry about it, to be honest. Sorry I can't help more.
