Good stuff.........It sure makes a difference mate, takes all the weight out of the bike!! :thumbs 

Now all you need is a white bike. :rofl

Hi Couch, Mate you have solved a big hassle for me Re: the board under the rear tyre. At 66 yrs young I was fining it very hard to get the ST on the centre stand but not any more, your blood is worth bottling. Cheers Candywine.   :hatwave

There are many paths to the top of the mountain.....but we all need to find our own way!

Couch the colour of my ST is candywine, if I swaped it for a white one as your's is I would have to change my call sign to WHITEY & that may not go down to well with some folk. Cheers Mate.   :think1

Mainly when it's going towards the back of the tongue.    :beer

Here's mine FWIW:



It's 24 mm high at the top of the ramp, and 300 x 170 overall.

Any higher and you can't get it out from under the back wheel.

I have a new Man Cave now, still organizing it, but it is a big improvement on my last one, plenty of space to pull bikes apart here (I know it needs a good sweep out)

I've not followed this thread but what a simple yet affective idea from Couch and Biggles. The other astonishing thing is, Biggles garage appears to be tiled. VEEERY nice indeed.

If only!  That's the laundry floor- where I take all my photos because it offers a descent canvas. 
Garage floor! Don't even go there...

I should take a picture of one of my areas as there is no car or bike in the double garage - it is empty!  First time for a long time.Still two unregistered bikes in the carport, but it has space as well.

How about an underground cave

Oh WOW!  What you can do with unlimited money!!  That is astonishing.


Or you can do what a much wealthier guy is doing, and set up world-wide humanitarian schemes (Bill Gates Foundation).
That's not to say the garage owner doesn't do worthy stuff as well, just before I get jumped on...    :grin

I dunno if I would have the patience to wait that long for the lift to come up, especially if I'm just going to the store for some milk
