Motorcycle Dolly/Stand Thingie? - Apoc - 10-29-2007

I have one of these.

I want to put my SV in a storage closet over the winter. It will roll up into the closet but the closet is T-shaped and I want to push it against the back wall to make it easier to get in the closet.

I've seen these but I don't want to have to rely on the kickstand as the bike stored better in vertical.

I envision something like this, only with a wheel chock.

Basically I need a multipdirectional dolly that will also serve as a wheel/spool stand. I've searched around and couldn't find anything quite right. Anyone know of such a product?

Pick it up and carry it into the closet?

- stevegula - 10-29-2007

Back it into the closet?

Push the front in first and then shrug the bike up off the ground and swing it around?

- BLINGMW - 10-29-2007

out of curiosity, what's wrong with storing it on the kickstand?

- Apoc - 10-29-2007

Getting into the closet isn't the problem, it's manuvering it against the back wall and storting it upright that's the issue. I guess I have the Pitbull to store upright and maybe I can use this to spin against the wall.

A forward facing rear stand would be better given the space though.

The lean of the bike takes up unnecessary space. I kept it in there on the kickstand while I was out of town for a few weeks (so I could put my car in the garage) but I'd like to minimize the amount of space it takes up.

Put a block of wood under the kickstand?

I like how you phrase everything as a question, as if to say "duhhh."

- .RJ - 10-29-2007

Its not my fault you'd rather spend money instead of going for the obvious solution Wink

- Apoc - 10-29-2007

That doesn't solve the problem of manuvering it to where it needs to go. The space is very limited so turning it 90┬░ by pushing it back and forth isn't an option.

If the Pitbull had multi-directional wheels that would work perfectly. I used to shimmy my bike against the wall on the Pitbull in my old garage and it sucked.

Since its going in there long term, pick it up and move it where it has to go. I'm sure you can pay someone to come do that for you Wink

- Apoc - 10-29-2007

I'll give you $3.

I think perhaps I'm just looking for ways to spend money because I'm insanely bored.

Gotta be honest here, that's how I feel.

There's like 40 solutions to this and you're ignoring all of them except the ones that involve buying something.

i weep for you

(edit: steve) If you knew me, you'd understand. Tongue

Aside from picking the bike up (which would be easy if there was more than just me), I'm not sure what options there really are. Maybe I'll just get one of those cheapo furniture sliders and put it under the rear tire.

Put your wife to work? :dunno:

- Apoc - 10-29-2007

She's a chick, she can't lift shift. That's like asking Ginger to help me. For the health of the marriage, we're not to work together or such tasks.

...and stop phrasing shit in the form of a question! It's not nearly as simple as you're trying to make it out to be.

Well you dont have to spend money to feel like you've accomplished something. I'll come over and help you move it at some point if you want. See - simple, done Wink

Yes I do, it's how I define myself.

- .RJ - 10-29-2007

You can pay me $100 and I'll even give you a receipt.
