Ha! A lot of water under the bridge since then. Car has been banished outside since attaching the Watsonian to my A10 and from last Oct I have a Velocette LE in there as well.
Ply platform is magic, very stable, couple of minutes to put together and take apart, stores flat against the wall. Used it loads of times and safe enough to get up on it alongside the bike, kick it over and start it. Last used it Oct 19 to overhaul forks, etc prior to attaching sidecar.
Rog.
