Holy Thread Revival Batman!!!!! I just wanted to post something up since it is rare that I get very impressed with a tool / concept but today I was, this concerns those of us with motorcycles.
Harbor Freight sells this item, $64.00 with a 20% off Coupon: Motorcycle Dolly - Low Profile I assembled it today and rode my bike up on it, dropped the pivots and am amazed at how easy it is to shove this behemoth around, glides like it was on ice. Well worthwhile IMO if you are short on space. http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...ps5234c155.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...ps64effde1.jpg |
It never occurred to me that such a thing existed ;)
This would be much easier than doing 5 point turns inside the garage with the Buell. http://i875.photobucket.com/albums/a...otos/006-5.jpg http://i875.photobucket.com/albums/a...dz_600x450.jpg |
I was wondering this not to long ago as well! Yes, I ride. I have a 2003 Suzuki SV650, and it is a blast. My dad and I took a week and rode around the Colorado Rockies, just camping and exploring. No, interstates allowed (except for I70 for the Glenwood Canyon. Beautiful.)

http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1421538549.jpg See if these pics come through. One from the past, circa 1975: modified Norton Commando 750. Current stable includes Aprilia Tuono 1000R, pictured, and a stock Honda CRF450X, and a KLR650 with a ton of performance mods. Many bikes, dirt and street, before and after the Norton to date. 63 years old and still addicted to speed. Picked up a 2003 S last October purely for pleasure use, to put the top down and slam it through the twisties. Previous convertibles back in the Stone Age include an Austin Healey 3000 Mk3, and a Triumph Spitfire. So far the Boxster is everything I hoped it would be. |
Exactly like you guys, I had never known of something like this or it's existence before hand. That is exactly why posted it up LOL, been jockeying bikes around either in garages or in my basement for decades, not any more.

I have been riding for 45 years. I have owned 429 vehicles through the years. Including 23 Porsches. 118 were bikes . Most every make and model you can think of. I presently own 4 bikes, 2 are Honda Valkyries, that's right, a 6 cylinder liquid cooled Boxer motor with six carbs. 100hp and 125 ft/lbs of torque @ the rear wheel and only 650 lbs. It is so smooth I can stand a nickel on it's edge on the valve cover, start and rev the engine, and it will not move.
My daily driver is a boxer engined Scion FRS. Attached is a pic of my latest 2 Valkyries that I have. Both are 18 years old bikes that I built from wrecks. |

Luckyed,
What a stud (and I mean that as a strictly heterosexual compliment)! Some great bikes in that pile, not to mention cars (Healy 3000? sweet!). Good to see you spanning that many years and still enjoying it. |

One was a Beck 550 replica pushing 200hp and there was a hand built 917 replica with a flat six too. (9) 914's of various years and engines and the rest were air cooled going back to the late 60's. I am currently enjoying a late model 986. The thing they all have in common is that I am sorry I don't have them all today. |
so so so cool thread, keep the pics coming! hehe

It has been said that Motorcycle riders make better car drivers. You guys have some bikes that are real beauties.
I have been riding motorcycles for 45 years and have owned 36 different bikes. 9 at one time is the most. Today there are 7 in the garage, but only 2 are mine. 3 are my sons bikes and 2 I am working on for a friend. Here is my Triumph Rocket III and Thunderbird Sport. http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01/2341421993275.jpg |

Beautiful day in Oklahoma today. I took the 98 Vulcan Classic out at sunset to dust it off and keep the battery charged.

Those are real. We have since sold the Boxster on the right. Still have both Triumphs. Been through other bikes since then too.

Oh I will never forget the rocket III. When I was in college in Texas, I had a YamahaR6 and I used to visit an uncle in Houston frequently that owned the Triumph. So every now and then, I'd take her out for a spin and I still remember the distinct feeling of sitting on an 800 lb machine that had so much torque that the chassis wanted to twist from under me when I sat in neutral and just revved the throttle and I remember thinking to myself "What were they thinking? But I freaking love it". Contrary to what most people would expect, the in line three was really really quick,i remember reading that they had to limit it to prevent people from hurting themselves. The Uncle never had any problems keeping up with our crotch rockets, in fact, gave us a run sometimes. Haha

Hi new here. I have a couple of bikes that I don't ride nearly enough. An Aprilia SXV Supermoto and a Ducati Monster. Last year was 2 track days and I think three rides in the hill country and riding to and from COTA for MotoGP. Thank heavens for battery tenders. Ugh
|
Other rides
I ride a CBRXX1100 and a Yamaha 650 Special. I the old Yamaha is fun and much slower than the XX. The 986 is the most fun because i get to share it with my wife.

Ride the 'Glide
I ride a 2009 Road Glide. It's fast, handles fantastic and black just like my Boxster.http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1423700126.jpg

Some lovely bikes there guys. I particularly like the Triumph Rocket III.
I am jealous of the weather you guys get, Scotland gets quite a bit of rain although on a nice sunny day, the scenery can be breathtaking. One days rain is another days whisky as they say :-) |
Hello all - I am new to the forum, but have been lurking for awhile. I just purchased a 2002 Boxster with 54,000 miles, new top and brakes. New engine was installed in 2008 and it has been driven 5,000 miles since then. I've had several cars over the years, including two with mid-engines ('75 FIAT X1/9 and '03 Toyota MR2).
Also have had several bikes over the years and currently have a 2011 Kawasaki Concours14. I am moving back to the Dallas, Texas area in a few weeks and look forward to again riding and driving through the hill country and up toward Arkansas. Some nice roads. Currently in South Florida and nice weather but lousy riding/driving. http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1423776881.jpg http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1423776945.jpg |
