Bent shaft (oh nooo!)

LOL, bent the shaft of my *kickstand*.
They're supposed to be straight, right? No idea how I managed it, but I'll blame the trials tire
Was coming too-hot into a grass-track corner (a left) and the rear locked up and stepped out to the right. Of course, I got off the rear brake and of course, the TT regained traction RFN and what went from an incipient lowside turned into a near-perfect highside (Russian judge scored it 8.6!). Thing is, I'm pretty sure I picked the bike up off it's right side, so I guess it must have barrel-rolled...
Anyway- the question is serious. The kickstand shaft should be straight, right? I'm trying to figure out if that's where the bend is, or if it's the mounting plate.
