You're good to go then. Get some bobbins anyway when you get the chance as they are much better.

Also suggest you are nice to Tom else he may show you how to get your bike on the stand then tootle off on his tractor without telling you how to get it back off again.

Did I see mention that you have a bike trailer????? Another worthy addition to the GM tools library

Don't worry. Nathan will be selling that to me for a tenner in the next few days.

But I have a towbar and what's more I'll withhold your pocket money for a couple of weeks. You'll then have the choice of using the coppers in your Angeleena Ballerina piggy bank for buying your weekly razzle or making a down-payment on the trailer. And we both know which way that decision will go.

This.

Oddly enough the shop I got my rear stand from actually let me try one on their FZ6 demonstrator so I knew how to use it. Even easier once I upgraded to bobbins.

Surprised nobody has suggested selling the bike and getting one with a centre stand...

@Fallout. Surely this belongs in the abuse thread!

Yes and no. Yes, officially it does, and no because abusing Nathan is valid in any thread.

OK OK call it a momentary lapse, the old girl is getting better with age, especially as I've started looking after her and not just thacking about doing no maintenance and hoping for the best.
