Default bike turntable?

Hi:
I hate backing out of our garage and have seen many turntables from long and skinny to long and wide... all quality products are expensive..
I would like to see one with the footprint of a motorcycle jack and really reasonably priced..
I'm sure it's out there, even if homemade, I would like to get hold of the plans..
I have a heritage with clearance of less than 5".
Thx

My neighbor uses one of these to squeeze his bikes in and out of his garage. Harbor Freight Low profile motorcycle dolly.

Wow, I didn't realize that this was a harbor freight item. I'd find this very helpful myself. Gotta look into it. I'm guessing that when its in the "locked" position to get the bike on, it's pretty solid ? No probs getting the bike on it ?

I back into my garage when I come home, just like parking anywhere.

"I would like to see one with the footprint of a motorcycle jack...."


How 'bout using a motorcycle jack ? I have a pitbull jack which I know is not a cheap jack, but I can wheel mine anywhere I want in the garage even with the bike on it. I don't strap it down but I don't get too aggressive with moving it either. Slow and easy, steady as she goes.

Like you know, there are many great options for the right money..a Jack type appliance with much bigger casters and still go underneath my bike would be great,I think

Sorry, I'm with Mathis on this one. I back into the garage and pull out when its time to go. I don't pull into parking spots why would I pull into the garage.

I usually back in too, although I have pulled in. Not much of a difference, back in pull out.......pull in back out.......anyway, My space is just very cramped between the bike and the Apache so it would just be nice to have one of these things to tighten it up in there.
