Motorcycle Garage Parking Devices

[sharkymoran]

After much mental and physical abuse from me missus we bought a new car for xmas. Strangely enough, I failed to hear that the verbal contract stated the aforementioned car will spend nocturnal residence in the single car size garage. Now, this garage has been home to my beloved motorbike for some years. I can't tell her where to go as she has threatened to withdraw all wifely duties (some i can live without but most I need to keep me sane). After frantic measurements of the garage we can sqeeze the bike and car in the limited space but the bike has to be flat against the rear wall. The cheapest way would be riding the bike as close to the wall as possible then bumping the back wheel round. However, I'm no spring chicken and I'm asking if anybody knows of a safe and secure device (similar to a trolley jack perhaps?) to lift the bike clear from the ground and then manouvere into the desired position.

Possibly something like this?

Nice one chris.

I did find similar products to this but no where near as cheap. This could be the answer to saving our marriage.

Thank you very much!

Are you sure you want to park the bike at the back of the garage, then let your wife park the car in there too?

modern cars are better not in garages. they accumulaste moisture in them and will cause it to rot quicker than it will outside. Go with that! reclaim your garage!

This is exactly what you want, a lot less bulky than the other, they can be bought a lot cheaper than the one shown, check in the Motorcycle news adverts...........

I feel very sorry for you being bullied into the present predicament, some females can, at times be very belligerent. My Kwaka has to spend it's life under a cover outside.

That's life.

It wasnt very long ago that a man (or woman) could apply to the divorce courts for "a restoration of conjugal rights"

Such happy days !!

You could have parked in the garage and threatened to take to court if she carried on.

Womens lib has a lot to answer for !

Loosehead is bang on - car is far better left out in the open air. Keep the garage for your bike.

IF you can get the bike in the living room or kitchen,watch how fast she puts the car on the drive

Thanks all. Top tips and advice.

I'm now thinking of putting the missus in the garage, bike in the kitchen and living a celibate life. Happy days.
