Title: A cheapo Solution for those who park their bike over long periods of time.
Post by: Stoner on March 19, 2015, 01:17:18 PM
Hi Guys.

Just to share.. as I usually drive to work and my connie is mainly use for long distance trips and the occasional cross border coffee runs.

I have her park for weeks to come at time. And learned that parking stationary over long periods of time might case flat spots on the front tyre. So... here's my poor man solution.. LOL!!! :clap:

Good idea, all though although Zebs question wasn't really answered !

Nothing wrong with a £20 paddock stand either......another way to eliminate flat spots on tyres is to put memory foam or styrene under them.

I'm from Singapore and I had to park my bike at a public multi-storey Carpark.

Opps... Sorry mate.. I've it measured and come back to you guys...
