Anyone in the south they are handed out by insurers and so on at the Ace Cafe Burn Up on 13 Sept and at Brightona on 11 October. Well they were handing them out last year. Both events are on Madeira Drive in Brighton.

Disconnect your nitrous bottle and spray it on the ground where you want to park up. The liquid gas evaporating will freeze the ground solid, allowing you to park using your sidestand for a couple of hours*. *Dependent on ambient temperature...  |

Don't get a plastic one, no use at all! Either a wooden one; that floats and keeps your bike up, or a metal one; that just sinks in ever so slowly, just set your alarm early. i tried a flimsy plastic thingy at kelso, the perishing thing just folded in two and left me half on/half off the bike; when i tried to reach it i fell off one side and the bike toppled over the other, oh how we all laughed?

Far too oblique mate Aye, it's the Sottish elements in my system ( and my inability to use the correct 'smiley')  Just for clarification, the retail/freebies should be ok, just don't use the top off any old plastic container, that's what happened at Kelso when i mislaid the real thing.

Trouble is they yelp from the minute you put them under your stand until you lift the bike off again, can keep you awake all night.

Just make one yourself, have a look around for some reasonably thick wood (about 18 or so millimeters) then cut it to 75mm square or more. Old wooden pallets are a great source of this timber and often they are just chucked into a skip  |
