Park-n-Move Standard Motorcycle Dolly $199.00

[Wayne]

One reason I miss the Chrome tub is how easy it was to move around in my one car garage when on the lift. Obviously given the plastic and different frame on the GTR there seems to be a limited number of options. Have seen subject product before and it seem a bit pricey. That said, have any of you gentlemen used it? If so is getting the bike up on it more difficult then the advertising depicts?

Not sure how that would work considering it would have to lift where we already have a center stand.

Too bad MGvalero isn't still around, he could probably fab wheels for our center stand. RIP MG!

I have one for my C14 and it works very well for me. I have an older model (as shown here) that has the the cam lever like locking castors. The new ones (yellow) appear to have thumb screws that simply turn into the castor wheel to lock it. I've emailed Legal Speeding twice to find out if they still have the older castors available with no response. I've been told that putting a small board in front of the front castors is enough to lock it. Like I said it works well on my C14 but I have a relatively flat garage floor. There is only about .025-.030 inch clearance (hack saw blade thickness) between the bottom of the Park-n-Move and the floor, so it needs to be pretty flat and swept clean when you try to move it. Used ones appear for sale now and then, but they get snatched up pretty quickly.
I ride my rear tire up onto a 1.5 inch board to make it easier to deploy the center stand on top of the Park-N-Move. When you place the center stand on the Park-N-Move the castors should be unlocked, and they are locked when you want to remove it from the Park-N-Move. I lock the castors and climb on top of the bike and just rock it forward to come down off the stand.

i debated the same, and went with http://www.harborfreight.com/low-profile-motorcycle-dolly-95896.html  for winter storage movement.
not sure if i made the right choice or not.

If just moving it around is what you're looking for and you have the room (when the bike is not on it) then the Harbor freight dolly might be best.
However if you have a fairly flat garage floor, then I recommend the Park-N-Move, as it also works as a movable work stand and the bike is vertical while working on it instead of tipped over on the side stand.
Below is a photo of mine in use before I removed the rear wheel. The plywood was used because I have a rear fender extender and I was concerned that there wouldn't be enough clearance to get the wheel out without the extra height. I was wrong and I don't use the extra plywood anymore for tire changes. The photo does give an idea of the floor clearance,  which as I said earlier is about the thickness of a hack saw blade when the weight of the bike is on the stand.

These guys appear to have the older version available (I'd call or email first) with what seems to me to have the better castors: http://www.bikebone.com/page/BBSC/PROD/MotorcycleAccessories/Park-n-Move

Have you used it frequently? I purchased 2 of them last year, for the money, I find them well worth it....
Sometimes have to wedge the front wheels to keep it stationary when loading, but not always, depends where it sits in the garage when I roll the bike on... my garage floor is not all that smooth and perfect... but the stands do well.
I always use a cinch strap for security on it tho, for worry free movements...

You need to use your brights more.  (sorry max', you left the door open and I just....well you know.)

I did see it back then, and remember thinking that his "hacks" will be missed.  Very innovative.  I'm still trying to figure out his rotating GoPro mount under the mirrors...

I really liked his front brake lock thingie. I wish someone would either sell them or release detailed drawings so I could make one.
If I recall correctly, you squeeze the front brake and push the red button with your thumb and a rod holds the brake on. Then when you return to the bike you just give that outer knob a quarter turn and it releases. I can't find the video anymore.

If you have a mechanism to download them ( I use Savefrom.net) then do so.  As he isn't managing them anymore they could disappear and that would be a tragedy for those fans of his work.  I took one look and got  .  But then the man with the sword can get a bit sentimental over such things.

on in the winter, off in the spring. that's it so far, lol
have the dolly on its side leaned up against the wall. its not the most compact thing, but served its purpose.  loading it wanted to squirt away, used a board or something to hold it, no problem. then moving i didn't push the bike, but the dolly thing stabilizing the bike. no straps or anything,  easy.
if the other dolly would have been at the motorcycle show, i probably would have bought it. and returned the big red one.

Thanks gPink and V'Jim, I was able to save the two videos I wanted.
