hey guys, basically i thought i could get the bike up the front step and into front garden, but step is to high, and theres a flipin van parked outside so i cant get a good run at it. cant park it on road, as theres nothing to chain it too, at mo its chained to lampost, but apparently this is a dodgy area (i wish id known that before i moved in!!) and basically i was told by a neighbour, if the crooks dont take it, council will for it being on footpath!!☹

so after such a mission to get it back, im quite upset that it might get nicked! ☹

ps, if anyone has any suggestions, please pm me, as this is an open forum and we dont really want people honing in on where we live…

Shewoolf has heard about it & she is from Wales 😛

Yeah, and we don’t even have electricity yet :laugh:Seriously though Steve, I thought as you’d lived in London before you would have heard about it. Hope you manage to find some parking for your bike soon 🙂

the step is too big but you could do it with a run up?

what, with a ‘sweet jump’? 😃 do you have video on your phone? 😛

surely if its that big, hitting it at speed wont do you any more favours than slowing powering it up?

make/buy a small ramp?

just curious, is it impractical to fashion or buy a ramp of some sort?
