You can always put a Champion reverse set up on your bike andjust back it into your garage.

The cyoma.com unit looks like a good way to drop your bike. Watch the guy in their video closely as he almost loses it. [sm=badidea.gif]

Ride well,

The first one would be a wreck just waiting to happen, probably why it isn't around no more!
Second one is cool, but I can see a weekend project coming up for me. Don't know what that would cost but I am sure I could make something way cheaper myself....... hmm let's see.

Kinda reminds me of a roller I had from a convayer (spelling?) I had a section of rollers like trucks unload at the gas station. The rollers had pins in the end like pins in a wrist watch. I took out enough rollers so my wheel would sit in between but not hit the floor. Put a little ramp on the front. You could easily clean your rims without moving the bike..

When I had a center stand, I took one of the wifes cookie sheets from the kitchen and put it under the center stand. Spun that baby around like it was a toy..........

Default RE: turning bike in the garage

ive got the same problem. too many cars in the driveway and a one car garage

i use the sears motorcycle lift (red)

drive straight in, and when i want to take the bike out without backing down a narrow steep driveway
i just lift the bike high enough to get both wheels of the ground and spin it. The lift lets it down slow
very easy. Its also easy to get the bike close to the wall for storage. Paid $75 on sale at sears great lift.
good for cleaning, fluids ect. you be glad you bought it.

I got the cheap Harbor Frieght gold alum jack.......I park all my bikes in the house....When it's time to leave, I simply jack one up, spin it around and boogie......Takes maybe 1 full minute.
