   So I woke up yesterday and found my Harley like this.

   I saw something black underneath and thought the sump had been punctured, but it was actually a sinkhole that opened up right under the jiffy stand!

   Besides scratching up the engine case, it ripped the jiffy stand spring apart, leaving it unable to retract without flopping back down.

   But worst of all, the hazard lights turned on and flattened the battery overnight, leaving the bike unable to start.
