Agreed. I want to be riding off road confidently and able to repair the most common ride-stoppers which add to my empowerment and enjoyment of the day.

Being off-road and relying on rescue is bullshit piss poor planning.

Being on-road and relying on rescue is just lazy.... and time consuming.

I'm not fitting a centre stand on my Africa Twin as I'd rather have a full skid plate and a weight saving (weight used elsewhere).

I've bought one of these for £30

Trail Stand. Lightweight, functional, needed.

I didn't. You pay delivery on top.

Good for reference

Well yesterday i swapped all my GS tools, bits over for a Honda size set etc Today i checked a few socket sizes. Found that the 22mm spindle insert from GS is too big and wont be along again. Got a trusty spanner out and undid the passenger seat. Feeling more engaged already!

I've been away since getting the bike so haven't had the chance to have a decent look at what's what. I am going to take the collective advice tho and get sufficient stuff to change a tube...I actually fancy going tubeless as I'll never off road the thing so it would just make it all easier

I was previously looking at these, similar price overall

Not sure yet though, might just take my chance without one because not sure how it'd help with a puncture on the front..

At the end of the day might as well get the centre stand for peace of mind.. Or try and rely on breakdown recovery; never had to change a flat at the side of the road before so would probably take me a while..
