"The Motoboy Motorcycle Mover is a wheeled trolley for moving your bike around in confined spaces. Featuring four swivel casters and a very low platform. Simply by placing your bike's centre stand on the Telefix MOTO-BOY and releasing the foot operated brake you can move your bike in any direction with the minimum space and effort. You can move bikes into normally inaccessible spaces without scratching bodywork or soiling clothes. Once in position the Moto Boy can be safely braked in the required location. Maximum capacity 350kg"
no need, with the side stand down, just pull the weight of the bike onto that, and then swivel it through the degree change.

I'll ask my mates down there. but i know that one i previously mentioned is used by a lot of the guys from Southampton and Bournmouth. There's a another good one in Salisbury - they sponsor a friend of mine in her racing anyway!

I only ride (push) in my garage

Just ordered a black hugger and carbon effect tank protector from Dan's recommended website. Also ordered the crash bungs
hugger arrived poorly packaged, scuffed and poorly finished. Not impressed

At least I have the crash bungs and the tank protector to fit (so putting off riding the bike further)

Nope, but a stag weekend in Cork means I won't be on the bike until Christmas.

Assuming you are going to send the hugger back then??

Take some pictures of it first.
