There's something going on in there, and they've banned access to the quarry. The Winking Man is a rock feature on Hen Cloud that 'winks' at you as you drive past on the Leek/Buxton road, just after the turn off for the Roaches. Nice bike roads over that way. I got my last speeding ban (but no points 8-) ) on that road lOl

Hiya
welcome. I jacked on my remus since new, I made a piece of wood to the same contour as the remus - jack onto the wood. Not done any damage at all.

Mark

I was thinking of doing that, now I know you've had success I'll give it a go. Cheers Mark.
No beam suitable in my garage so I can't lift on the bars.

Hi Al and welcome from another Uly owner. Great back road bike, super handling and torquey engine. In these times of high fuel prices it is fairly frugal as well. I seem to be getting 60 plus MPG from mine, beats 30mpg from my Firestorm :|
By the way this is how I get my wheels off the ground:
