    motorcycle trolly

    Sorry if in wrong place, I tried the search function but unsuccessful with results.

    I am keen to have some simple way of turning the heavy HD around once its parked in the shed.

    Reason being I have a steep driveway leading right up to the garage door, I open the door by remote from the bottom of the drive and then ride up.

    Once inside I have to do roughly about 6 to 8, 3 point maneuvers whilst still straddling the beast and getting it facing back towards the door. (must look fucking hilarious to outsiders)

    No!! I can not make the garage larger and no, I don't want to have to back the car out each time either .

    I have seen some type of frame with wheels that allows the bike to be simply moved around, anyone tried one?

    I had much the same problem with my Honda ST1100 when working in Aussie, single garage which I rode into frontwards but needed to park across the back of the garage so my wife's car would also fit in.

    I bought an ezi2wheel, place it under the sidestand and you have a 3 point supported bike you can walk backwards and forwards until it's around.

    I've still got it and don't use it anymore, I ride the M50 into the garage and walk it out backwards. Cheap to a good home! Pay the freight and its yours.

    Might just be easier to turn the shed around.

    I dunno if it would work on a HD but a dealer I know with a small workshop got very good at turning his bikes around by pivoting them on the sidestand with just the rear wheel on the ground.

    That's one of my tricks too. Get strange looks as a one armed guy hoists the bike up onto its sidestand and pivots it 180.
