Ahhh - you mean to take the sump guard off to use as an impromptu stand? Yes - that would probably work but it may be easier to use a short branch as a support on the opposite side to the stand.

We have done that on the lanes a few times - works well but it assumes you have branches nearby and a way of cutting them or breaking them to the right length. Because of the frequency of meeting fallen trees on our lanes, most of us carry clasp (pruning) saws in our tool kit wink

Knowing my luck, the pin would fall out, launching the guard while riding....

Yeah nifty, partly a stand and partly a quick engine out tool.

I would feel more conformable if it was a slow, awkward pin release, you really wouldn't want that dropping out while riding!
