Turning Bike round

[casaface]

Has anyone got any good tricks or gadgets to turn their bike around in a small space (garage) without doing an Austin Powers.
My bike has no centre stand and it takes me ages to get me bike in the garage.

Cheers.

[mchaggis]

Wheel it in the other way around.


There are gimmicks about though, have a look at Busters etc.

Depends on the bike but you can swing it arround on the sidestand, its not something you should make a habit of though..

If its not on a hill just wheel it in backwards, stand with the front wheel between yer legs and covering the brake walk it back

Get some one to hold the front brake on grab the exhaust and another part of the bike and lift.

Seems to make the bike so much lighter

Can't just wheel it in backwards cos it needs to go across the back wall so I can get car in as well.

Found a Tailswinger thing at Busters - looks like just the job.

Cheers for the help.

Wheel it out backwards then.

Can turn a bike by pulling it over towards you so that all the weight of the bike is on the side stand. What bike is this with?

[MarkJ]

I could swear someone had a link on here a while ago where you could buy a kind of board with wheels. Reminded me of a skateboard: you put one wheel where you want it to be, then roll the other wheel onto this skateboard, then you can simply move the bike in an arc on the fixed wheel.

Pansies! I'm not that strong at all but I can lift my bike round (CBR600FSport) and spin it on sidestand, drag front or rear wheel etc to turn it round.. can even lift half of it into back of a van (although wasn't planning to, the ramp fell off lol) just pick the thing up

I get low and drag it by the back wheel if necessary, but only bits at a time, cos I dont want her toppling over...

Ride forward into the garage.

Aim front wheel at back left corner.

as you get close to hitting back wall stamp on the rear brake

and swing the arse end round!

Job done and looks pretty cool when you get it right.

Put your front wheel near the wall, with full left lock on and the bike at an angle to the wall. Tilt the bike over as far as you can. Rev it then dump the clutch, the back wheel will spin round. Slam the rear brake on before the wheel smacks the wall and the bike will will stand up.

Rather you than me trying that, though...

Or you could fit a 12 bar, and wheelie the fucker in there, leaving it parked on it's back wheel.

I think sparks should give us some more creative stunt solutions to the problem.
