Steve's new bike

BMW K100?

He'd be best getting on whilst the side stand is down. Doh!

yeah but then I wouldnt have pissed my self laughing at him

god that made me cringe.hope bike is okay,we nearly dropped our bike in london.

Oi never mind the bike he dented my car door :p and yes the bike was find, his pride hurt more.

i bet it did.chavs are scum they shouldnt be on earth

Steve,, i feel for you chap.... been there done that

a few reasons, the tarmac in that spot was new and still setting also his knee gave way to an old bike related injury and the bike is a fat bastard bike and weighs a tonne lol

Oh. Didn't know the pavement was still setting. My bike is pretty large too (but still sporty) and I wouldn't ever hold its weight and swing my leg over (I'm not short either). My old 250 cc sports (very low to the ground) I would without a problem. I've even seen guys with big bikes like that one where the rider hops on (centre stand and all) and makes a forwards motion which rocks it off the stand and down on to the wheels.

Yep seen ppl do that, apparently this is the approved BMW method as they designed a hold just below the seat its a weight / fulcrum point issue if I remember. Also that bike was so heavy I was unable to lift it on my own he had to hop and help me lol
