Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Nigel Eaton Bad form, and so on, but WTF. A quick furtle below decks tonight revealed that there are *two* centre stand levers. A big "I'm a centre stand lever, me" one that's totally impossible to use. And a small, discreet one alongside it. Tread on *that* one, and it's easier to put on the centre stand than the ZZR is. Amazing. Oh, and it's 381 kilos.

Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Muck Mmm-hmm. Pushing it backwards on gravel is an interesting experience. I'm considering buying a CG125[1] as a tug.

Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Salad Dodger Heh, that one I had figured out for myself. It's the required 180 degree turn on exiting (or, I guess) entering my garage that's proving a little challenging. Plans for a turntable are being mulled over even as I type. -- Nigel - Manufacturer of the "Champion-104" range of rearsets WS* GHPOTHUF#24 APOSTLE#14 DLC#1 COFF#20 BOTAFOT#150 HYPO#0(KoTL) ZZR1100, Enfield 500 Curry House Racer "The Basmati Rice Burner", Honda GL1000K2 Kawasaki ZN1300 Voyager "Oh, Oh, It's so big"
It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Nigel Eaton Two 1/4" sheet circ plates, greased, with a bolt in the middle... simple. -- Dave GS 850 x2 / SE 6a SbS#6 DIAABTCOD#16 APOSTLE#6 FUB#3 FUB KotL OSOS#12? UKRMMA#19 COSOC#10
There's always the time-honoured two-beer-tray trick, one inside the other with a bit of oil in there too - stick the centre stand on 'em and round you go. OTOH, with 300kg revolving, it could be a bit unwieldy ...
It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the Aye.. beer trays are fine for lightweight bikes, but I think 1/4" plate would be needed just to make sure the ctr stand doesn't punch holes or dent the fucker. -- Dave GS 850 x2 / SE 6a SbS#6 DIAABTCOD#16 APOSTLE#6 FUB#3 FUB KotL OSOS#12?
