Slow puncture. So obviously I've done the sensible thing and bungee-corded a track pump to the seat. Anyone in SE got a jack that'll lift up the back of the Vespa and let me change the tyre out? Did it last time with a teetering pile of tool boxes with @inchpincher and that's not a route I want to go down again in a hurry.

take panels off and lean over on some cardboard boxes, always used to do that!

A cheap £10 bottle jack from Screwfix or Machine Mart will assist but be aware of the scooters instability, only raise the rear wheel just clear off the ground and be careful once the wheel's off. Are you just gonna swap it for the old one? Why not just go to the shop that fitted the tyre and get them to repair it, they'll strap the scooter down which is 100% safer! Or lean it over like 8ball said, preferably without a full tank of fuel.
