As one of the lighter T150v owners it is no joy getting it on the centre stand but can do it on good level pavement. If
the attempt stalls very likely the bike will fall over and I am powerless to do much about it. Getting back up as it leaks fuel all over
is a superhuman effort for me.
Face the bikes DS, LEFT foot on the centre stand extension pressing down, both hands on the rear grab rail along the mud guard.
shove down hard with foot pushing it forward and lift up and back with hands in concentrated effort. With a full tank it is nearly
impossible less so with less fuel. I rarely do this anywhere but the garage. Never do I move the bike without straddling it.
The added weight of a T160 v a T150v removes any possibility of me getting the electric start option! All 150/160 bikes need to
lose serious weight. The Rickman option is constantly on my mind...
