I did use my reverse daily to get mine in my garage. Not that it was necessary, but as a connivence since I had it. I could pull the bike straight in (like I have to do now) and turn it around if the cars are out. But I like the option of being able to just back in the garage and I can not do it without the reverse due to the slight incline in my driveway. I do not have reverse on my other bikes so I know how to not put myself in situations I can't handle. So I do love my reverse and will be glad to get it back.It’s not about parking downhill or other silly mistakes, the reverse is really useful when you have no choice. I have to ride into my garage and obviously reverse out, but my drive is gravel and I would say to you come over and have a go pushing 374kg backwards for me, its really not easy and gravel is also slippery underfoot. The reverse makes it a piece of cake. Just because you don’t see any need doesn’t mean it’s the same for everyone. Not having a go just saying, this reverse saga has been a real PITA. Glad the end is near.
