It's unrestored though Bryan had the carbs restored about 12-18 months ago so standing obviously does them no good.
At present I just want to test drive the bikes gearbox before the strip down starts.
At the moment I'm plucking up the courage for the test ride as soon as it's safely off the bike ramp - gawd I am feeling old today!
As I try to take it off the centre stand it just slides along the ramp instead - for safety I'll need my younger brother to help me as I'm not strong enough to do it on my own - bugger.lol
Oddjob:
Ted why not think about one of those ramps which hold the front wheel in place, you push the wheel against it and it sort of rocks over and holds the bike upright, to remove all you do is wheel it backwards. You can fit them on the end of workbenches.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Not heard of those anyone got a link?
Does it not stress the front wheel?
The bike ramp is great to save my back during strip down except when I need to get the bike off as one side is close to the garage wall it's easy to loose balance. As you know once a bike starts to pass the centre of gravity only Superman can save you!
Oddjob:
You can see one on the end of the ramp in this video, the storage idea is brilliant but nobody has been able to find out any more details about it yet.
