Default I don't know about this idea

I don't think I would like the Man Cave ramp idea.

That room is sweet.

Yeah, the ramp would worry me a little going up it. I saw a video where a guy was trying to get his bike up a ramp into a van and the bike tipped over.

Not a perfect situation but I think you would get used to the ramp after doing it a few times. I'd worry about having people hang out in the same room where the bike is parked.

Really dumb way to spend money when you have too much of it.

The commercial comes across without stutering and pausing. Why can't they set the video up to operate the same way?

I kind of like the "Cycle Spinner" idea, but $1,200 for what essentially amounts to a Bike Ramp on a Lazy Susan seems a bit spendy to me, and you need a clear 8 feet of space around it to rotate. In my garage (er Man Cave) I'd have to park one of the cars outside to get that kind of clearance.

The ramp going into the Man Cave is kind of a Darwin feature to the whole thing I think.

That ramp is an accident waiting to happen as it is. He is going to have to do a lot longer concrete one or something. Can you imagine hitting that thing if it was wet? Scary!!!!! I like the door with the translucent panels and I love how they act like the birch plywood on the floor is something worth having, crap would dent so easy. Overall the whole thing is a big waste of money that no self respecting "Biker" would be caught dead in.
