    Depending on your bike, and the reason for getting a paddock stand, it might be worth considering a Wheel Jockey: http://wheeljockey.com/

    If you're only after a stand to clean and lube your chain, and you've got a road bike, then the wheel jockey is worth considering.

    I got a paddock stand, but I live alone, so it's always a precarious job of getting the bike up on the stand all by myself. Keep that in mind, it's really a two-person operation to do it properly and safely. The Wheel Jockey gets around that (apparently)

    Not familiar with the Pegaso so don't know if it has one but if your bike has a centre stand it's a piece of piss, I can get both stands on by myself easily. But yeah it's trickier from the sidestand - one trick is to put a block of wood under it to raise it up so the bike's more vertical.

    Dude I've only got one arm to use and I have no problem operating a paddock stand by myself. Not being a smart-arse, just saying it can be done easily.

    No problem here getting the bike on the stands. For those planning on using front and rear stands, always position the rear stand first

    I see Wellington Motorcycles stock them. Anyone know how much they cost?

    Not much help, but they're about AUD$89 at some of the Australian online retailers.

    They're $99 from Welly Motorcycles. Paddock stand is a bit cheaper at $85. I only need it for cleaning & lubing chain. Hmmmm, decisions, decisions...
