you go first, we'll watch!

 

Here, Hold my beer.

 

will be starting a new thread soon, as I too have a 32" door situation - but it aint my building, it's my office @ school - lot's of other factors - most people are leaning toward heated storage - a long time friend said to me "these bikes have been around for a long time - OUTSIDE - heck even @ 150 - 200 when the MOCO started out, that was more of a percentage of anual salery than the 10 - 20 grand people plunk down now (not my figures), people banged them across rutted roads and never left them in a heated storage - they rode um in the snow". - interesting thread - was surprised to find my self even asking this question

 

Ok I will show all you guys that it can work, you just need a running start at it.

All I need now is someones bike that I can show you on?

 

Assuming you only need to get through it twice (Once in and once out in the spring) Can you get a couple guys and two small dollies and turn the bars all the way to one side and kinda scooootch it in - Try measuring the widest distance with the bars turned all the way to one side - Make sense? If not I would go with Skos's plan B

 

Ok maybe plan C
Maybe take the bars off?

 

So what did you end up doing?

I can still take a running start if you want?

 

update on my 32" door situation - measured the bike with the highway pegs up and the handel bar turned - widest point = 27" - put some casters on a length of double up 2x8, locked the casters - rolled the bike on - instant "Harley dolly" I can spin this baby on a dime and she will spend the coldest days of winter in a nice climate controled 68deg. as my office "guest" - just not yet as I have ridin to do still - ain't no ice on the roads yet, ecept for the beer spillage.

 

My favorite line from "Tobacco Road"

"If'en it don't fit...force it."

Or was it "Grapes of Wrath"

 

Storage? What the hell does storage have to do with a Harley? If I lived in a place that I had to store my bike, I'd give serious thought to moving! I guess I may not get to ride due to weather, but damn, I hope it aint long enough for me to have to worry about storage. In the dry, seems to be good enough, but climate controlled storage for a motorcycle? Do you need to adopt another kid? If you take care of a bike that well, I can only imagine how you treat your kids. Damn, climate controlled storage for a Harley. What'll they think of next? How long is this storage period where you live. You need to give serious thought to MOVING! hehe
