I have a similar gadget from harbor freight, $49 on sale. Its about 7' long, like a C channel with a T in the middle. Has 6 casters including 2 that hold up the T where you put down the kick stand after you ride on to it. Has ramp at each end that fold up after you ride on. I have used this over the past 2 years on all types of bikes from little Triumphs to GL1800, no problem.

man......I thought you wanted to see pictures of my scratched bag.

I looked at that rig, but the room that I have available for the BMW and the Wing dictates that they both stand up straight on their center stand. The harbor freight stand looks a lot easier and safer to use.

I don't own one but have seen them. I made my own slightly different. It keep it from skidding across the floor while rocking it off the stand, try a piece of rope tied around the outside of the wheels where they meet the floor. It will act like a wheel chock. You could lock the wheels and use rubber door stops as wheel chocks too. Be inventive, plenty of better ideas out there.

Anyone have the trick for getting the bike off this thing without dropping it?


Want to sell the Park N Move?

No......I actually have bought 2 used Park-N-Moves in the past month so I can get my bikes inside the garage this winter. I'll just have to be more careful getting them up and down.

The Harbor Freight Low Profile Motorcycle Dolly is currently on sale for $59.99 with this coupon (scroll down a bit).

I've never used one, but thought folks might be interested.

Also on that same coupon page you can get their 1,000 lb Capacity Motorcycle Lift for $279.99 instead of the usual $400.
