Motor Cycle turn table

I dont see the point? Why doesn't everyone have a mini roundabout like me? I just drive round and back out.

Do you know how the plate in your microwave spins?

It rests on the turntable thing. But it looks here like the wheels are on the ground. I would have thought there would be too much friction.

When the supporting jack for the motorcycle is activated the tires will be lifted off the ground ensuring that they are no longer in contact with the surface. This allows the motorcycle to be fully supported by the jack. Once the jack is in position, it will enable the motorcycle to spin easily to rotate the bike without resistance. Get it now? If you haven't ever drove a motorcycle it might sound a bit weird at first.

Uderneath the sign there is an industrial Lazy Suzy that can support up to 2 tons, the sign is screwed to the lazy suzy and so I ride over it and position my centre stand so it is on the sign, then I simply push down on the back seat to raise both wheels off the ground and it turns itself. I can do it with two fingers as the centre stand is at the point of balance on my bike.
 
A clearway is a section or road where you are not allowed to stop your vehicle for any reason, unless in an emergency.

Parking on a Clearway sign is clearly an infringement

Thanks. I thought that jack was just a kickstand like on a push bike!

It is I have stopped using it for this very reason.
 
Just a light downward pressure on the back of the seat and the front and rear wheels are off the ground
