I just had a bit of offcut wood. Had the advantage of not scratching the swingarm. It lived in the bottom of a pannier for holidays... until I forgot to put it back one day and t'other half used it to repair the fence!

I was thinking along those lines, as I have some old car mats somewhere...

Definitely falls under the category of 'first world problem'...

Abba don't do one for my Guzzi (not that it has a chain), which is a problem.

Its was a real bastard when I needed a new rear tyre fitting, as very few bike tyre places will do it. The only places I found that would definitely do it were all Guzzi dealers.

Not for mine Weeksy, but thanks. If I could have found a new or even used centre stand, I would have bought it. Wouldn't have it on all the time, just temporary for removing the rear wheel.

We’ll even with bits of decking board under the wheels off mY paddock stand Wouldnt lift the back wheel off the ground ?? What a waste of time that is. Scrappy can have it and I’ll treat myself to a new one.

Once again I used the spinner so I could clean and lube the chain. Once I’d found my chain cleaning brush in the small shed of many gifts, it was easier this time, but still a bit of a pita, but deffo better than nothing!

You're assuming the shed door can be closed.

Dunno what that even means? Okay the back story was, I had to move, nay destroy, a good shed as we had to move it out of the way to have new driveway gates fitted. I, literally, bunged everything in some old sheds which we moved about as the plan was to build a small workshop/garden room/covered seating area, but I got mugged for a new kitchen and everything has been abandoned in the sheds (and the loft of plenty) until then. Now a new bathroom is looking like jumping the queue too. :(
