    Cans of Drink are Useful!

    Whilst at the V Festival yesterday I saw a few bikes using the Crushed can under side stand.

    I did notice beer cans were the most prevelant, obviously useful for unwhinding after a long ride in addition to securing your bike remains in the upright position.

    Very common at rallies. I bolt a piece of cut out tyre to my sidestand, then you can park anywhere, even on the beach.
    3 Africa Twins/280,000 miles. If it's happened to one of mine, it's gonna happen to one of yours.....eventually.

    1 Varadero/17,000 miles ridden (of 40,000 miles on the bike), it's all still new to me!

    Ahh the good old Stella puck, somethings never change, used to see these all the time at race meetings, especially Oulton Park for some reason, or "Muddy Mallory" before it went all posh

    Taking my lad to Cadwell Park Bank holiday Monday, they've gone and built a grandstand on the Mountain!! when did that happen?

    In my day you were lucky if you could find a box to sit on, etc, etc,
