Yes moto, that was me. I'm just so much more confident when the engine's running and I'm on it than when it's not and I'm standing next to it. I just have to get over this hurdle of thinking I can't manhandle the bike though. Otherwise I'm going to be relying a lot on other people and that's not always convenient.
I've developed a real mental block about my bike trailer though so this van thing is the alternative I've come up with.
And as soon as I get the paddock stand (and can use my left arm properly) I shall be practising putting the bike on and off it. I'll be leaving it in its track fairings, which are already damaged on the left side, so can't do too much more harm, until I've mastered it.
