Turntable

[Crash fin]

Hi there . As an old bloke who loves his bird I have a small request. At the moment I have to reverse my bike down a concrete ramp out of the garage onto a gravel drive and then push to an area to turn. No worries so far but I fear the worst, should I slip. Does anyone recommend a turntable I can use in my garage? It would make things so much simpler. Thank you in advance. CF

Seen this type used effectively if the floor is pretty smooth

My brother has a centre stand turntable for his vfr but unless you can get the front wheel off the ground by putting your weight on the back you will struggle to use it as I think you would with most!

At the moment I currently have to push mine backwards up a slight slope. Worried about dropping it.
So I'm saving my pennies for one of these. Rollers are extra. Not cheap though.

Ride into shed spin around & ride out. Lift bird to work on. Simples.

Years ago I heard of someone using two identical round beer trays with a thin layer of oil between them to use as a turntable !
Don't know if it was a success but ..... It's a cheap and cheerful option ??

There must be someone else on here who may have seen / heard the same thing

I wouldn't use that second one, judging by the pictures, it makes your fairing fall off :-0)
