I live in an urban condo that has a garage, but requires a vehicle to be parked in the driveway in front of the garage: |

Zitat von Immersion Suit im Beitrag #1 the dolly looks useful - I have 2 bikes in the garage with just enough room to walk between them - it was built in the 1970 when the original Austin Mini was the benchmark. Sometimes I need to get to the wall behind one of the bikes as the plumbing for gas & water enter the house there, so there are meters for both and the stop cocks. A dolly would be handy. In the UK, a cheap solution is to get 2x round trays from your local pub. These have deep sides to stop 8 pint glasses slipping off. Put some oil in one tray and insert the other tray. Instant turntable. Sadly, these trays seem to be a thing of the past as breweries no longer give them away to pubs as merchandise so they are not so easy to source |

I have my RS on a Park-n-Move (shown in yellow above) and it is great for moving the bike around. I find it a pain to operate the locking wheels so I don't bother. Once you get your technique sorted out for getting the bike onto its center stand and then off the center stand while on the dolly it's a snap to use and super handy. I have 3 of these and I roll multiple bikes around my garage with ease and they fit into spots I could not get them into without the device. Good luck and buy with confidence.

I tried a dolly (for my Pan European) and it broke (she was a fat lady). |

Here's another option :)

I have one of these, very robustly built but be careful of cheaper versions on Amazon, they look similar but are half the weight. Had it 3 years now and showing no sign of wear. https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/clarke-m...torcycle-dolly/

I have a similar bike shifter made in Australia. Mine has brakes on all wheels. Wouldn't be without it - it's so useful if you have several bikes and limited space. Mine is heavy duty so don't buy cheap! |

The thing I use is exactly what Lloyds Motorrad use for all their bikes. Cheap(ish), simple, effective, indestructible... |

Zitat von Immersion Suit im Beitrag #1 I have a Park-n-Move that I don't use anymore. If you're ever in central PA (i.e., within a few miles of I-80), it's yours for $50.
