err, yep My Dad has kangerooed it up the garage (clearly the front brake on his old bikes weren't quite so sharp).

Actually, I also need to source (a) a tank protector strip; and (b) a rear hugger.

Thanks Dan - also going to get crash protectors which don't involve drilling holes in fairing (it would appear):

Calm down mate, you only thought about it for a couple of hours

Soon there'll be nothing left to do other than ride it!

All in the technique

Shouldn't be difficult with a bike as light (I presume) as yours though.

Just shut the garage door when you do it, and no-one will see you make an arse of it

To get over the extra height problem you could run it onto 2 bits of wood, and slot the trolley in-between.
