Can anyone recommend a good one?

I'm tired of dumbasses with bad attitudes offering sloppy service whilst selling overpriced Vietkong crap!

Cheers T5bitsa69, good to know. Previously I've only dealt with the online shops. BTW I've got a side stand on order, is yours a standard length one?

Ooooh a side stand. Yes mines a buzzetti standard one for that 80's look.
Beware of an oily engine, don't leave it on tickover on the sidey

The translating blokes had a major breakdown and gave up.
Just a subtitle on screen saying"orders a drink"

Anywhay chaps let us get back on track here.
I wanted to purchase a new rear tyre for my scooter. So I phoned PSN whenst he replied that he did have said SM100 in stock ready for pick up. I enquired as to what time he would be departing his premisses on a friday eve. He replied 5pm.
As I finnish my employment for the weekend at 5pm it was a little late for me. He said he would wait in for me untill I arrived and collected the item. It took me about 25 minutes to arrive and true to his word he was there waiting. Five stars for that man Andy. Dontyaknow Razz emoticon

The stand arrived yesterday, I've offered it up and it looks like it will cause some rather extreme scooter leanage. As I'm not sure I can handle all that attitude I'm going to modify how it's mounted.

Will report back

(BTW This is a consequence of putting a p200 with a simioni in a rally frame. ie. center stand hitting exhaust)

All fitted, I'll post some pics soon. I ended up fitting it to the opposite side, it looks weird pointing forward but it is more stable.
