Be careful of new tarmac when parking!

[truslack]

Seeing as the weather is pretty hot at the moment, thought I better mention to watch out where you park.

I parked up at work yesterday as I had to go and see the groundsman (ok, I didn't need to, but wanted a brew) and parked on some fairly new tarmac. Came back out to see the bike on the floor, with the sidestand stuck into the tarmac! It had melted in the sun and the bike just sunk.

(When I saw "New tarmac" It's been there for almost a year now)

Be careful when parking!

Ahhh, I've been there...except my bike went one stage further and actually toppled over...it snapped the lever as well, which made for interesting riding for the rest of the day...

Good call...

FWIW I always carry a sidestand puck or failing that find a squashed can. Can be useful and a lot of places give the pucks away as promotional items free anyhow.

Doesn't have to be new Tarmac old stuff will melt and the stand will sink in. Even had the centre stand sink in before now.

Ah, handy thing to have no idea where I'd find a copy of Fast Bike around here (Shepherds Bush, West London), tho..

and I wouldn't want the pink

I'd rather get 2 for £1.99 from halfrauds than spend £4 on fast bikes.

Some cupid stunt of a company sold me a house that if I jack my truck up on the drive then it all starts sinking into the drive after 10 minutes.

That was a couple of weeks ago before it started warming up. Wonder what it'd do now.

I can imagine a pick up door deep in driveway lol.

And I was pleasantly surprised at that puck in halfords, previously all they were good for was over priced Muc-Off.
