 Here is the start of my "Ultimate" side stand support. Its a 6"x6" piece of chequer plate (free from local machine shop, unwanted cuttoff), which i am going to round the corners off & attached reminder cord, the type you get with disc locks. The chequer pattern should stop the side stand from slipping & I think it will be a bit more durable than a drinks can or one of those plastic jobbies.

Tight.  You just borrowed a tenner off me this morning.

No, No, No, crazy crazy

A tenner wont do, no use at all. A tenner will fold up as soon as you put the side stand down on soft ground.

What you need is a puck. be-it plastic or metal it'll be a lot better at keeping your bike from falling over than a ten pound note. yikes

When the Andrex puppy of fate steals the last sheet from the bog roll of life, remember, Labrador puppies are soft and absorbent too.

So many people are alive simply because it's illegal to kill them....
