So wait a second... You would like to take Pete out and sit him on your lawn in the rain, and then lean him against the garage door? :)

On a serious note, I also hang mine from coach bolts on the wall. Works great but I still need help putting it on/off.

Back in the USA with my old NB, I had a cool hardtop stand that you could roll around on castors. I have seen them here but they are BIG $$$.

And hard tops are sexy... And faster at the track too :)

A 6 mt strap is long enough, got mine from Bunnings.
I sewed a metal ring onto the balance point and made loops for the rear feet.
