Yes so it seems, that's why the ferry companies don't like you putting the bike on the centrestand.

Looks secure enough, I think the picture gives the impression the side stand is taking all the weightajscomboman wrote: ↑Fri Aug 06, 2021 8:40 amYes so it seems, that's why the ferry companies don't like you putting the bike on the centre stand.

Just to say Rob, Brittany Ferries broke the sidestand on my XJR Yam doing it their way, with other collateral damage.ajscomboman wrote: ↑Fri Aug 06, 2021 8:40 am that's why the ferry companies don't like you putting the bike on the centrestand.
I insist on centre stand nowadays on boats and have not had any problem.

Re: Magneto problem live!
A very dangerous comment Rob. I will never give an answer when Hilary asks How is the bike running? Its tempting fate to reply.

Re: Magneto problem live!
I wouldn't let them use the sidestand on the 500 twin coming back from Santander. I put it on the centrestand and grabbed another ratchet strap much to their annoyance! Another guy with a Modern BMW tried the same and they wouldn't let him do it! Refused to give him an extra strap. I think there was a heated debate but by then I'd walked offGroily wrote: ↑Fri Aug 06, 2021 10:34 amJust to say Rob, Brittany Ferries broke the sidestand on my XJR Yam doing it their way, with other collateral damage.ajscomboman wrote: ↑Fri Aug 06, 2021 8:40 am that's why the ferry companies don't like you putting the bike on the centrestand.

I'm a firm believer that whatever I say has no influence at all. If it did I'd be an extraordinarily rich chap by now.
On the ferries front I just refused to use the sidestand and did it my way on the centrestand, went and found a strap. They weren't happy but I couldn't give a toss. I can be very stubborn.
