It looks like a workable proposal, although I'd worry that if you parked
the motorcycle on too steep of a slope using this system it might go
sliding off the slope sideways. You could put spikes on the tips of the
two extensible leg tips to allow the stand to dig into the soil and help
prevent that.
I've had situations (I imagine everyone has) with motorcycles where the
ground was too uneven to balance them on their kickstand, as the ground
angle was greater than the normal lean of the parked vehicle, and this
would solve that.

Turn bike so kickstand faces uphill; Crush beer can & place it under
said stand. Open next can ...

Yeah, it is a good idea. Parking a bike is tricky, has to be balanced
pretty close for the kick stand to do its thing. I can see putting one
of these on some big cruiser bike with the compasses, CB radio, cigarette
lighter, and so on.
