Park N Move motorcycle dolly
« on: September 16, 2014, 02:10:58 PM »
Google " Park N Move" it's a motorcycle dolly to manoeuvre your bike in very tight spots, it's solidly built with rotatable castors of which 2 are lockable, it takes bikes of 300kg. You put your centre stand down on it and it allows you to move the whole bike on its own axis, I found a stockist in WA and for $299 seems quite reasonable. I for one will be getting one in the near future.

I have the sidestand version, and it makes moving the bikes around easy. Great for parking unused bikes out of the way.

$54 if you pick it up from their factory.

Like John, I bought one at last year's Maryborough Ulysses AGM and find it really easy to manoeuvre the bike around.

I'm considering buying a second for the ST1100 . . . Or maybe sell the bike . . It is not quite as manoeuvrable as the one for $300 but it is a good unit and a much better cost.

One just needs to be a tad careful that, when pushing the bike forward, the unit doesn't snag on something and force the side-stand to retract . . Could mark the plastic and require assistance to stand the bike up again.

Oh and definitely for flat ground only, not for sloping driveways unless you have the hand brake fitted.

OK ive got to ask $49 for the side stand version, thats not possible, the castors alone would cost that. did you buy it secondhand. Or was it on promotion, if not who was the seller because I want one at that price.

That Ezy2Wheel looks a good idea and cheap but Im not sure I have the room to manoeuvre the bike in my shed, it takes me probably 10-12 moves just to get it in a 180 degree position, this would be the same using the Ezy2Wheel except a bit easier with the weight. By using the centrestand I can turn the whole bike 180 degrees in one move.

I think it was Abe who came up with the suggestion of putting a metal baking tray under the centrestand feet.  The bike can then be easily be spun around 180 degrees on it's own axis, and it will only costs a couple of dollars from the local "Cheap as Chips".  :thumb

And you could put a permanent grease patch where you place it and it would be even easier.  Maybe spray a fluorescent warning around it so you don't go base-over-apex while walking through the garage...  :rofl
