Re: Anyone use a bike mover

If I was going to buy a bike mover I would be tempted with one of these type http://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/46362 Not a paddock stand I know and a fair bit dearer but a friend of mine built his own version out of wood and industrial castors for a reasonable price, just...

Re: Anyone use a bike mover

A problem with these is that I found you need a very smooth floor surface like that laminate shown in the video. rough concrete, paving slab joints ect would be a nightmare.

Re: How does he do it?

I've no idea exactly how these things are done. they are very impressive, but we do know it's not really magic :shh: .
Just very clever misdirection and slight of hand with the use of good props.

Re: fleabay bling

I was also looking at this on ebay. But what I'm wondering is do you really need one on the Storm? It's a good handling bike, at least I find it fairly neutral and go's where I point it. :D
Does it get more frisky with the forks dropped through or a blade front end? Or are they pure bling>

It's about 30 days or so. At least it was when I read it in a bike mag's legal questions bit a few years back.

Re: TPS HEADACHE

Not sure I understand what your saying. Both storm models were sold before 2003 and after there's no difference either. :confused
so the silvers one would be fine. :)

Re: Insurance help

Sorry seb, i misread your first post. I thought your storm was just off the road having the bearings sorted but still with an MOT in place. :P still the insurance firms are a pain in the butt, whilst I understand that they dont want people to take out a policy on a low risk vehicle and then use the ...

Re: Insurance help

How would they know your bike was not fit to be on the road? You wouldn't tell them would you? if yours is only to be in the garage a couple of days, then you would have it back before any inspection took place ( if it even went that far! ) If your dad has valid insurance on the blade then it wouldn...
