I recently ran across a post on www.bikeforums.net where a guy had recently bought a 1970's Schwinn Continental for working out. He was asking people for advice regarding the possibility of touring on it.
Scads of people were telling the guy ways to cut weight, and several were advising removing the kickstand and plate as one way to shed ounces. Huh? The kickstand mount is a welded integral part of the frame on Schwinn Continentals and Varsitys. It was one of the the things I loved about these bikes. When all the cheap bikes were losing their kickstands unintentionally, I still had mine.
Dude, just get on your bad motorless scooter and Ride On.
