SuperHawk Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 how do I get the bike on the rear stand by myself? I bought a LP one a couple weeks ago, but haven't had time to mess with it, but I was just wondering, if the bike is on the stand, how do I do it?thanks, lol, first bike and stand, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperHawk Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 you just muscle it up there. that's what i figured, i just wanted to make sure there wasn't any tricks i was stupid enough to miss. I'll try it this weekend, since my garage is 20 min from my house its hard to get to during the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shittygsxr Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 I guess the hard part is holding it upright while you musle it up sometimes a small block of wood under the kickstand will keep it upright enough while you position the stand. Once you get gifted you be able to balance the bike with one hand on the tail and use the other hand to work the stand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhaag Posted June 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 What does a fold up trailer like that in the background run now-a-days? Will it hold 2 bikes? its from Harbor Freight. i paid around $260 after buying the chock and treated plywood. it comes as a kit, must be assembled. its works great. i've seen people haul two bikes on it, but i cant imagine it being very steady and you would need to add outriggers in front for tiedowns, its not wide enough without. I won't be able to make it up this weekend, but please let me know how you like the twighlight session as I'm planning on going 7/7 i did the one last year. it was very informal and ended up being an open track for 45 mins and closed for 15 mins for rest. it was extremely fun, but they'll probably run it like a regular led this time; 30 mins per session, int and adv.how do I get the bike on the rear stand by myself? I bought a LP one a couple weeks ago, but haven't had time to mess with it, but I was just wondering, if the bike is on the stand, how do I do it?thanks, lol, first bike and stand, etc just take your time and practice balancing the bike and maneuvering the stand into place. just dont let your bike fall over!!

NinjaNick Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 how do I get the bike on the rear stand by myself? I bought a LP one a couple weeks ago, but haven't had time to mess with it, but I was just wondering, if the bike is on the stand, how do I do it?thanks, lol, first bike and stand, etc It's simple man. You'll get better at it. It takes me about 5 seconds. I put my bike on my rear and front stands everyday after every ride. I just like it like that. I grab stand, put my hand on seat, get one side of the stand on the spool, tilt bike away until it lands on other side of stand, push down; bike is lifted. It goes really quick after you do it a few times man. Heck practice if you want. Ofcourse the front stand is nothing once the rear is on.Remember, never NEVER use front stand w/out the bike on the REAR stand 1st! Always take FRONT stand off first, before removing REAR stand too!Do that and you'll be golden my man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhaag Posted June 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 evening went very well!it was run like an open track. to start each int and adv went out for 20 mins each to get acclimated with the track. then, it was open to all riders. they would bring eveyone in at the top of every hour to fetch any down riders and clear the track. then it was on again. it was very successful and a lot of fun!
