...is this where I finally drop my scooter?!
« on: September 17, 2024, 04:54:03 PM »
Steep hotel driveway.
I had to deploy my broccoli band parking brakes on the front  and the rear levers!
All ended well....but it had my full attention!

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

When parking on an incline like that, I find it’s pushing it off the centre stand that provides the cardio workout!  So much so I’m often tempted to use just the prop stand.

Kymco and several other brands DO have the main stand lever out to be  pushed by boot and bodyweight.

But I tell you, try to put an old MotoGuzzi on the mainstand...oh my. You have to pull nearly the full weight up by hand, which is in certain situations simply impossible.
