    Hi,

    Just stumbled across this forum after searching Google for some advice so joined up.

    Have bought a new Tiger 1200 Rally Explorer approx 6 weeks ago, both my first adventure bike and my first Triumph.

    First service done last week and loving every minute of riding the bike (apart from moving it around the garage).

    Dave.

    Welcome. Tried the kickstand turn? Or a dolly if you have a smooth garage floor?

    Used kickstand turn on other bikes but is it good enough on something this heavy?

    Haven't considered a centre stand dolly yet as not confident using centre stand yet...got it up ok (‍♂️) but really struggled to get it off the stand.

    Any tips gratefully received
