The tarp goes up for me when I step out of my tent and there's room for my week old AT, so why not? I can pack her up in the rain without getting my kit wet when it comes to leaving - more then a couple of guys asked me where the tarp came from so they could get one (though perhaps they'd not admit it) - I take an umbrella when touring too, go on - there's a full thread of material there too!!! lol
Great first post!
Good for you, go your own way (thumbs)
Thanks for the Umbrella thought, too.

I learned a long time ago that a small travel brolly takes next to no room up and can make a big difference

To be fair the sidestand on my S10 is alloy and she ain`t exactly a slim girl :whistle: only problem I can see is if it breaks in the middle of nowhere it`s not as easy to weld :side:

Is it alloy ?
I could have sworn the sidestand on the S10 i used to have was tubular steel. The plate on the bottom had quite a large square footprint as well, i thought it was well designed.

At the risk of Anorak accusations....
Steel is an alloy
Most Aluminium metals is usage are alloys too.
