I'll be the first to admit I had something else in mind when I saw the title.

Not much, I can't see a real use, whats it good for?
All I can see is it allows a bike to be moved around a workshop? Is that it?

cant use stands with it there, doesnt really lift the bike up, can't even imagine how expensive it'd be to ship here, whats the benefits? I'm really struggling to work it out!

Cheaper to get a 3 wheeled rear stand which the 3rd wheel is a castor wheel allowing you to spin the bike around

Spin it on its kick stand!

I can do it on a 600 but I cant do it on my bike :mad:

Even though its supposed to be only 4 kg heavier...

Actually if you have a garage like mine you'd be surprised that there is some value in it ..... it's a 'tandem' garage, long and narrow but at the end it widens out. You could roll the bike on this thingamagig, then slide it sideways where the garage widens out. You could also spin it around instead of having to reverse it in.

It's probably useful to one person in a million, but there you go. Would I buy one? No way, what a useless piece of crap.

Get J-Rad to show you the REAL way of doing a u-turn in a confined space :)

Circle wheelie or burnout in da shed mate.......

just don't hold it for too long - burnouts in the shed will COVER your ceiling in rubber :ayyy:

Actually, potentially killing the proverbial birds:

For practicing/introduing noobs to wheelies we hoist one of the bikes via the lower set of triples to the roof with tie downs. Tie the front wheel up in the air and now you can jump around to your hearts content AND you can spin it on the spot to move it........just have some extra tie downs on there for redundancy.......

Same can be done for stoppies although that's heaps scarier!! Balance point on the front wheel feels SOOOOOOOOO nasty.
