The telly has just told me SuperCheap has a 25% off sale this weekend. Any thoughts or experience on how ones of these stands would cope with a DR?

Any other suggestions?

Yep, I have one of these. It was too high but there are some stopper things in the top of the tubes that you can remove with a bit of effort and cut a slot in the tube so the tube can slide past the horizontal brace and Roberts yer mothers bro. Lifts KaTyM just fine.

Cable-tie the safety catch on so that the toddler can't release it, dumping the bike on their head. DAMHIK.

I deeply resent having KLR's associated with BMW's
that's like pairing Bruce Springsteen with Abba

Hopefuly I'll be ok, the only toddler mentality here is me.

Could you make an insert to go on a big floor jack? Ive got a big floor jack that I had for my old racecar. Would be an easy lift!!

Must admit I've done it myself, too.

they are at "super cheap" for a reason pay a bit more for a proper hydralic one, its not a bit of kit u replace. Suggest the 4 wheel model that u can then move around with the bike on it. I got my one from the Tool shed 1 of the best buys I made,my bike sits on it in the shed

I'd go as far as saying it's the third best bit of gear in my shed, right after the estwing hammer and the beer fridge.

Nah thanks, if you're supposed to be the adult I'd hate to see what they're like.

Hey! I resemble that! Me and Keiran (3) spent the day in the garage working on his bikes yesterday. He knows what a ratchet is, how it works, how to reverse it, what a spanner does and how to use a phillips head screw driver as a tyre lever........

You'd do well with an apprentice that skilled.

With your history of crashing GSXR's I bet he's well practised

Sounds like he's better than me. Maybe I should get him over.
