How can I spin my motorbike 360 deg on stand?

I have just bought a K100 BMW real heavy beast and I find I cant turn it around in my drive. Can anyone tell me the nack of spinning a bike around on the stand. Cheers SteveH

1. Put stand on skateboard and spin! No DON'T! Try the Ulti_Pro. See http://www.n-w-s.com/stands/ This is a quick and easy device to spin your bike round in a tight spot. No chance of it falling over while you do it.
2. Very carefully! I just grab under the seat above the back wheel and pull.
3. well.. you could just take the time to turn it around when you park it..... pull forward back up that sort of thing
4. Stand on the left side of the bike. Side stand down. Turn handlebars full right. Left hand, grab right hand grip. Right hand pushing down on rear of seat. Pull handlebar towards yourself lifting front wheel off the ground while your right is holding the rear tire on the ground. Let the bike pivot on the side stand. Use your body as a brace to keep the bike from tipping over. Pull the handle bar towards you. Ease pressure on the seat to let the back wheel off the ground. While the bike is pivoting on the side stand. Push the seat, pull the handle bars, balance on the side stand, use your body for brace and extra leverage to push/spin bike. It's an art and takes practice. Get a friend to help prevent any accidents.
