I park it with the tail end facing the kitchen door. That way the wifr does not have to walk half way around it in order to suck-start it ! ! !

Pull straight in. Then it's up on the jack, and when I go, it just spins around 360 degrees, and out I go. That simple. Virtually every single time. That way I can always wipe her down before I hook up the charger, and put her to bed.

Simple minded maybe. If you spin it around 360°, that's a complete circle. You end up point the same direction you started.

I don't have a garage so I ride mine into the den. Nose in because the taillight clashes with the couch.

I find the Harbor Freight Yellow jack is an effortless 180 for me (unlike the drunken BigSky) which saves me from the winding road out in reverse.
I kinda miss the days of my bungalow with the bedroom door to the back yard - bike slept at my feet.
