Gave it a good wash (something I should have done a couple of weeks ago when I came back from my surfing holiday since the campsite overlooks the beach!)
Then, since I've finally managed to get all the junk out of the shed, started working out where to put the turntable I'm going to use.
I've already found that I need to get some grip tape to put on the metal plate that the centre stand will sit on so the stand "feet" don't slip around
Also I probably need to drill a couple of holes in the plate and the floor of the shed, one will be in the centre of the plate to stop the whole assembly sliding around and the other will be a "locking pin" that will stop it rotating when I'm trying to put the bike onto it.
Still, I did manage to work out the position I wanted the turntable in the shed and, once I got the bike in place, it pivoted very nicely and will make riding in and riding out a breeze, instead of having to push it back and forth to get through the old narrow door!
