OUCH!- center stand fall off!
« on: November 27, 2018, 04:46:58 PM »
This is why I always use the side stand and apply my rubber band 'parking brake' when taking photos on an incline !*

'Scooter in the sticks' rider had this happen to his Vespa when it fell off the center stand while parking for a photo on a steep road. "Clang" against the metal guard rail.

* Plus applying the brake lights things up for a better pix

Very steep road...

Vespa centerstands suck anyway, practically ride-offs!
