Oh bugger... again.#36141

Mark, he's already fitted with a lifting handle.. the bike simply tilted away from me as I took him off the stand.. I just couldn't hold it up.

180 Kg's falling away is more than I can hold these days...

I didn't buy the bike to add years to my remaining life. I bought it to add life to my remaining years.

Exile, I have a Guzzi Stelvio which is pretty high and heavy, what I do when taking it off the centre stand is to put the side stand down and drop it onto that. Obviously keep a bit of pull towards me whilst pulling it off.

Or perhaps you dont have a side stand fitted?

The owners handbook also orders you to do this!

Ray.
