    As stella is such s beast turning her round in my crowded drive is a ball ache. Thinking of a turntable or dolly. I have a centre stand

    drive is tarmac and not smooth so may be turntable better than dolly ? Cant turn in garage but need to make sure she goes in bum first

    Worthwhile or waste of time

    4mm thick round flat plate, throw on floor and place bike stand on it and swivel :)

    I use the side stand as well although it's frowned upon :)

    I like your thinking mate. Does the stand turn on the plate ?

    Normally the plate will spin after a bit of use as it becomes slightly concave.

    The grammar and spelling is poor but I think the seller is saying he cannot spin the bike round on this drive as it's bumpy hence he's selling it. So it depends on how smooth your tarmac is Repooh. It looks like the casters on that are tiny so my guess it would only work on something like polished concrete.

    Pull it over on side stand and spin it around, no money spent.
