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.

Nice Coreseller! I just may have to go to Harbor Freight and get myself one for the Daytona. Fortunately I has plenty of indoor garage space but you never know.

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.

You like pancakes. As in pancake engines. Were all the Porsche's flat 4/6s?
Cool bikes.

No, 4 of them were 928's of various years and there were a couple 944's and a couple of 924S's too.
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.
