Moving a bike in tight quarters - Centerstand dolly

[Charlie Bravo_imp]

Thanks for this. Though I don't need the dolly, the tip about putting a block under the wheel is sweet. I have never been able to get this bike onto the center stand without help. I am just not heavy enough to get it moving.

Hey, Inhouse - You may be using the wrong technique to get the bike onto the centerstand, and Honda doesn't make it easier 'cause they don't provide a grip point. I tie a loop of rope around the swing arm, long enough so I can grip it, short enough so I can pull up on it. Get the bike onto the stand points, left and right side and rock it slightly back and forth sideways so you know the feet are on the ground. Hold the left handlebar grip in your left hand, the loop of rope in your right, and put your right foot on the lever point. I need to use boots or at least some sturdy shoes. Put the lever point just forward of your heel, and step up onto it, pushing down and pulling up on the loop of rope at the same time. It'll pop right up.
