Little wheelie things

I've seen somewhere those little wheelie things you can use in a small space
to move the rear end of the bike around easily. You just push your bike
onto them then you can move it sideways. Does anyone have any idea what they
are called and where can I get some?

 

Found these, bit expensive...

Hmm, that'll be interesting for me too. Lemme know if you find one.

Dunno. I've always just picked up the back end of the FZS600 and walked it
round, front end too but it's not as easy to get a secure hold.
Trolleys are for wusses and girlies. ;-)

I've got one of those. Good, it is.

It won't work on the BlingMobile, which is a shame. The sides are too
high and would foul the pannier frames. Works a treat on the V-Max.

I keep thinking I need to build something to make getting the
BlingMobile in and out of the garage a lot easier. I need to be able to
turn the thing through 180 degrees[1] then slide it up against a wall.
At the moment this involves a 97-point turn and a hernia, which means I
don't use the bike that often because of the hassle.

I'm thinking of a steel trolley with castoring wheels at each corner,
and a central rail so that it doesn't wander away from where it needs to
go when I push it up against the wall. The rail would need to be
sub-surface so Mrs WUN's cage can still be parked in the garage.
Something like a box section with a slot cut in it, and jockey wheels
running inside it to guide the thing home.

Maybe the rail's overkill, and isn't really needed.

Hmm... I must get cracking on this.

Pick up my bike, you've gotta be joking. The last time I had to move a bike
like that Loz did it for me.

Oh goodie.

You can demonstrate the technique on the BlingMobile next time you're at
WUNderland.

One tiny flaw in the plan, and you have to go and find it.

Bear says...

Agreed. If I can do it anyone can.

 

Was there a contract of any kind involved here?

 

heh

 

LOL!

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, mb belched forth and ejected the following:

That's a reminder of just how much of a ripoff most bike stuff is.

That's worth 4.99. A tenner would be too much and this:

http://www.busters-accessories.co.uk/proddetail.asp?prod=563209 You can
probably buy something similar in Halfords for twenty quid.

 

Well... In that case I'd have thought six or so years on ukrm might have
been a bit more relevant.

 

Hoist.

Easy to put a couple of vertical RSJs in at the sides and a horizontal
one across them, then simply lift the bugger and turn it.

 

Errm, shouldn't that be t'other way around? <gd&r>
