First and foremost I think that you deserve the credit to your idea and also kudos to making a video. Here is what I do with my bike a NC750S by the way. I have a center stand and in order to protect the tiles on my porch I do place the bike on a patch of 5mm polycarbonate. With a little weight applied on the back to lift the front wheel the bike easily can be rotated around its center axis. For those who don't have a center stand remember that the bike can also easily be spun around on the side stand, however on a delicate surface like tiles that would cause damage to the ground. A sturdy hard plastic or hardwood base plate glued to the ground could be used where the side stand is usually touching the floor. Just my two cents...... Safe rides 👍🏍
Brilliant 👍🏻 if you’ve got a Center stand, all you need is a metal pub drinks tray, put the bike on the Center stand on top of the metal tray and just spin the bike on its stand, if there’s concrete underneath it will spin freely, that’s what I used to do anyway, only side stand on my new bike at the moment though.
Hi, Yeap I didnt want to have to get off the bike and do all that. I have a centre stand but getting off putting it down (which the NCs centre stands are quite heavy to get on the centre stand comared to other bikes Ive had ) was too much of a faff.. Now I drive on spin , reverse off in 10 seconds! : )
exeter rider Yeah I need to sort something like this, I ride up a narrow drive to a garage, there’s a curb separating my side from the neighbours so I have to do like a 5 point turn bouncing it over the curb as my drive is too narrow to turn on my side alone, need some device in the garage to spin it like yours does, great system 👍🏻
Yeap I did Thanks Derek, The issue I had was the lazy susans were so low down that unless made from steel the back and front end would dip too much when loading the bike and scape the ground when moving around unless I had casters each end which would then give too much drag. It also wouldn't tolerate too much "see-saw" affect on loading the bike .So done it this way.
yep , good one, rough and ready , a good start ,thought out, and made by yourself, works for you, take note, the guys without a full stand, good video, realistic, well done,
Thanks Ray, Yeap just a prototype and meant I could play around get the balence point right etc. As it happens it's still working well after 2 weeks and I think I had it all right first time round. Perhaps a bigger front caster though next time
Congratulations on getting to your 1st one thousand subscribers. BTW, I like how you got off the bike on tiptoe, without putting it on the stand first. I'd be worried about dropping it. Mind you, I do struggle to cock my leg up that high in order to get it over the saddle.
Thanks Geoff. It's not as bad as you may think because your on the bike anyway so the suspension soaks up alot of height. I normally drive on and roll off while still on the bike rather than get off then pull off the ramp. It's quite easy👍
Great idea, sir! Maybe next, some kind of simple coupling between the plank and the base to allow you to move the plank out of the way when not in use? A loose notched coupling perhaps, a bit like how the glass plate sits on the rotor in a microwave oven. :)
Hi dung, yeap I've come up with a pin idea which I'm trying to implement for it. Couple snags along the way but I'll think of something. Thanks for the comment. 👍
Thanks Mark, Yeap I can say that after 2 weeks it is still working really well and I have the balencing points etc spot on. Just a case of making one thats a bit neater than the present one now.
Hi and thanks. A updated one is in progress. Can't put a castor the other end without hindering the boarding of the bike. The new one is going to be better 😁👍
I've seen a dealer ( shall remain nameless :) ) spin a bike around on it's side stand, by leaning all the weight of the bike on to it. I'm sure it's not designed for this. Don't think I'll be interested in buying any of their demonstrator bikes they do this to !
Good job from san antonio texas usa enjunuity that is what this world needs no whiners thanks
Yeap, Don't moan ,get over the problem : )

Nice one mate thanks, yes that all sounds good. Tha ks for watching it.
Thst is just the sort of thing I need, thanks for the vid
Its brill Mike, I still have it to this day!There is a updated video to this did you know?
Simple but effective, like all the best ideas.
And cheap. It's been there for 2 weeks now with about 30 turns and still going well. It puts a smile on my face everytime I turn!

Problem, right spot. Solution, add a spinner!
Nice!
Have you seen the Lazy Susan rotating bearing. Cheap and on Amazon. Would keep the height lower and spread the weight.

Got me thinkin there ER ,awesome !!!
Goodo, it worked great but I have an upgraded one now but I expect you have seen that video already 👍

Excellent idea when your struggling with a bike in a combined space like i do
I dont think I could be without it now.
Brilliant!!!
niiiicccceeeeee!!! super resourceful!
Clever mate :)
That's a very good idea mate, I might do the same, let us know if you perfect the design
Thanks Mark, Yeap I can say that after 2 weeks it is still working really well and I have the balencing points etc spot on. Just a case of making one thats a bit neater than the present one now.
Not sure about that strap, but screwfix do the same wheels for 99p I think, anyway, good idea, and works well. Nice job!
Not long enough though. The one shown was 1.8m. I think screw fix longest was 1.2 I think. Cheers for the heads up though 👍
excellent idea :)
Did you try a castor wheel at the other end too , or might that get in the way ?
Hi and thanks. A updated one is in progress. Can't put a castor the other end without hindering the boarding of the bike. The new one is going to be better 😁👍
Great idea that mate. Gonna pinch it if you don't mind?
Yeah go for it. It's a good system.
Please tell a little bit more about the Honda...
Some stuff coming up Paul, but it all started with testing one. Have you seen my review of it? ua-cam.com/video/HwdYjfPwQ3Y/v-deo.html

No too right. Bikes shouldn't be spun around on their side stand is my view. Especially anything over 300cc!
@@exeterrider It was much bigger than 300 . Something like an 800cc ! ( that I think weighed around 170Kg )
