I saw this on a Facebook post by Pashnit and thought it was interesting and could come in handy.

Goldwing Park-n-Move

The Park-n-Move™ is the ‘must have’ product for all motorcycle owners needing to easily move their motorcycle around the garage.  When space is an issue the Park-n-Move™ allows one person to easily park their motorcycle in any location they desire in the garage.

Park Your Motorcycle ANYWHERE – The Park-n-Move™ has four 360° heavy-duty casters allowing your motorcycle to be placed anywhere room is available. Valuable floor space in your garage is used in the most efficient manner.

No Modifications to Your Motorcycle – The Park-n-Move™ utilizes the centerstand found on many of today’s motorcycles.  Simply roll the Park-n-Move under the bike, fold down your centerstand, and move your motorcycle anywhere in the garage.

Park Multiple Motorcycles - The Park-n-Move™ can help you locate all the motorcycles in your garage.  Have a Park-n-Move™ for each bike and quickly roll whatever motorcycle out you want to ride.  No more having to move all your motorcycles to get at the one you want.

Dual Locking Casters – The Park-n-Move™ has locking heavy-duty casters.  The locking casters secure the Park-n-Move™ in place while you load and unload your motorycycle. The locking casters also anchor your motorcycle once parked. No need to worry about it rolling out of place.

One Person Operation – The Park-n-Move™ was designed for one person to easily move a motorcycle where room is at a premium. No more wrestling your bike back and forth to position it in the place you want.

Low Profile Design – The Park-n-Move™ design is low to the ground.  Minimal effort is required to place the bike on the Park-n-Move™.

Compact Design – The Park-n-Move™ is a single piece design that stores out of the way when not in use. Hang it from the wall, put it on a shelf, or lean it up against a wall.  Space in your garage is maximized.

Lifetime Warranty - The Park-n-Move™ comes with a lifetime warranty on all components.

Not cheap at $200, but it is something that could be really nice for those with limited space.

I have one & it is very useful.  I can get the bike & my car in a one car garage and still have room for a work bench & shelves.  I move the bike parallel to the front wall & the rest is history!

Some comments from experience:

Pros
It is well built & very heavy & strong.
It really does save space
You really can move the bike around like that.

Cons
When loaded it sits very low to the ground, I mean maybe the height of 3 sheets of paper
If your garage floor is not perfectly level & smooth as glass, like the video, which looks like a painted shop floor, it will rub & scrape on the floor
When that happens you cannot push the bike around, you will end up pushing it off the center stand and make a mess.
You cannot cure this by purtting more washers on the casters for more height because you will not be able to get it on the centerstand at that point.
I have to grap both passenger grips, lift & push.  Always sideways or diagional.  Never straight forward because mine rubs on the floor but it still works.
If you have a hard time with the center stand, you will have a harder time with this.  I do not but it takes another .5 second of lift to cam it over onto the stand. 


It is a little pricey but if you are starved for space, there is nothing better despite its shortcomings.

I got mine from cycle gadgets, now closed, for $200.  The newer models have high & low casters.  I see no reason for the high casters.

All in all it is a good piece of equipment & I have no regrets

Hope that helps.

Great info Jim!

 I'm very happy with mine. My driveway is not bike friendly and I would have to back down about 30-40 feet if I didn't have my Park-n-Move to turn my connie around on.  I agree with what jim-d said. I was just able to get a hack saw blade under it when loaded, which is about 25 thousanths of an inch. Even if the floor is nice and flat, it needs to be swept clean if the bike has sat awhile before you try to move it.
 If the wheels are not locked and you try to use the Park-N-Move as a skateboard make sure that your helmet is on.

I bought one from Tim at Pashnit and I am extremely happy with it.
