Thanks for posting this. Very thorough. Just a word of warning in general to anyone thinking of getting this or any other form of motorcycle trolley. The rougher the concrete floor the more difficult it will be to move the bike!
That is true. Must be a smooth surface.
A little tip.
Roll your rear wheel on to a piece of wood say 2 inches high. That way you need half the effort to pull the weight of your bike up.
Thank you for the tip!
That will help me! Thanks
I got one of these - almost every day for a month I tried wrestling it onto it. just saw the 2"x4" Trick in another vid - Doh, kicking myself
Holy fuck. I LOVE you.
How do roll the back wheel onto a 2 inch high piece of wood?
Good video sir. A cheaper option is to just use a motorcycle lift (like the one from Harbor Freight) to move the bike around. I have 3 bikes and use the jack to position them on one side of my garage. Just throwing that out there since the item you use is $300 vs $70. The lift is also a dual purpose since you can use it for doing work on the bike as well.
Thanks for the comment. The Harbor Freight lift is a cheaper option.
Anything under the center stand increases the effort dramatically.
On a Goldwing put the suspension preload all the way down helps.
Thanks for the pointer Dave. I usually do have the suspension all the way down.
Very nice. Thank you for sharing. What a coincidence, I have a heavy bike, a green kayak, ladders hanging in the garage.
Thanks for the comment!
That work good I made my own out of a piece of 6-inch c channel 2 inch angle iron and for really heavy duty coaster wheels they work good. 👍👍🇨🇦
I got a f6b gold wing. I found a used park an move on Facebook market. My experience is a little different than yours. First it won’t fit under the bike . No problem, put two boards on ground and parked both tires on them. Now I got the park and move into position. I also had a 2x4 piece of wood under the kick stand, when you park on boards it helps it not lean a strong angle . Anyway while I was off the bike getting the park and move into position the bike Rolled off one of the boards. Now , The parking move is in position but I cannot get the center stand down. And I cannot Get the park and ride out from under the bike. Only thing I could think of was to drive the bike up onto the board that came out. Scared the hell out of me. But it work. Now my bike is on the park and move all the boards out and on mobile. Now I got it stored for the winter in a corner but I have to plan how I’m gonna get it off.
I got a older model than you have. It’s welded together. And the casters have lever locks .
I wish my garage was that clean, I'm jealous Qbal, nice video, and nice garage.
Thx Chris. This was an older version but the newer models have a foot activated lock which makes it easier to lock the casters and it is made for a center stand. Now, there is another brand out there in which you can ride your bike on and off but only put it on the side stand. you can see it here: ruclips.net/video/gc6P331eEXw/видео.html
Thanks Qball I will check it out.
I fear, that if the wheels suddently locks in forward motion. Wont the bike not drop off the dolly? Suddently you have 200 kg. bike to ballance by surprice. I dont have concrete flor for my parkspace.
I suppose that could happen if the dolly was moving very fast. But I have never had any problems.
Moving my 2013 Concours with the same park n move. One of the wheels hit a small pebble in garage while going forward and the bike came off its center stand. Fell on its side hitting my car. Lots of damage. Be very careful using this and remember Murphys Law, anything can happen.
riprocop Thanks for sharing that experience. Were you able to get everything repaired? I use the leaf blower to keep my garage pebble free.
Thanks for posting this. What a pain. All motorcycle moving dollys / trolleys seem to suffer from the same problem ie the wheels are too small for use on anything but a very smooth floor.
Thanks. I just spent an hour maneuvering a BMW RT so that my VFR800 could slide up close to it.
It can be much easier if you ride the rear tire on a 2x4 piece of wood before using the center stand.
Could you do another video and spin that thing around a few more hundred times. I don't think I get it.
mrwindustries My apologies if that was a bit too much. I was just trying give viewers a good idea how it works. Thank you for watching.
Just bought 2 and you have to be as strong as an ox to get the motorcycle up on the center stand. Just sayin...
Yes you are correct Joseph. You do have to put a muscle into it to get it up on the stand. Thank you for the comment!
I agree with that experience!
I like this dolly. definitely have to look into getting one.
Thx San!
Yeah, I definitely like that device, and once I get a center stand, that will be my next thing for my motorcycle, aside from other stuff. :-)
the way you lock the casters is different than the one i have, its a metal tab that i have to turn, sometimes its difficult, probably will use pliers in the future, I must have an older version
Yes, the newer version has a lever you can press with your foot. Much easier.
I have one. I used if for my R1200RT and now my GL1800 2012 works great.
Nigel Lowe Thx Nigel. Do you have the newer model where you can lock the casters with your foot or the older model where you have to screw them tight with your hand?
It has the casters with locks. I love it.
Nigel Lowe Wish I had the newer model like yours. It seems like it would eliminate having to kneel down. Thanks Nigel!
Noooo it moves when you put it up on to the centre stand / it could potentially get away from you and drop it - plus my garage does not have a smooth floor so that’s another potential drop if it catches on a pebble or some other kind of hazard.. no no no there are better movers on the market
It never has gotten away Nigel. The gravity when you put it up on the stand keeps it in place.
@@Qbal8 hi again you have a point But i think I'm going to use a lazy Susan with a thin steel plate this will work better for me .ride safe- Nigel
@@nigelbush7255 Ok Nigel.
It does help to have a glass smooth concrete floor as mine is pitted from years of road salt also i would not put that much weight on the rear trunk
Agree. The weight helps to pull the front up but maybe not good for the trunk.
My floor is pitted and the wheels work decent on it
Great video, do you keep the bike on the dolly when stored in the garage after a ride or during winter season? I'm interested in one by Redline it's the same as yours but its 1200 lb capacity and 300 lb capacity heavy duty casters. So that means the wheels can only hold up to 300 lb?
Yes, I'll keep it on the stand in the winter and sometimes during the summer since I don't like the extreme heat. Thanks for commenting!
When my Triumph t120, is on the dolly the front wheel still makes contact with the ground. The rear of the bike is easy to move but the front is not.
Same here. I just use the rear to control movement.
Be very careful of your back. As you say the slight elevation, about 2cm, requires a little more ooomph!! It's a lot more than you realise and the extra oomph goes right through your lower back.
+Seroom NZ It certainly does make a difference when putting it on this dolly and you can feel it! Thanks for your comment Seroom!
Love tea and that dolly looks really handy.
Thx Jimbo.
Outstanding
Thanks!
Interesting yet simple device!
+MemphisMike Yes it is.
wow, great demo, thank you
Thx Rob!
im afraid that only one state north of ya, we have to keep the keep the bikes in bed for a lot longer than a month -I'm envious!
Yep, I can't imagine living even further north like Alaska. Thank you for the comment.
Why am i watching this ? .. my 2 bikes dont even have a center stand
Great vid! Super informative, ty
Thanks Andrew!
9:47 - only just got clearance, there!
@@SydMaven yeah, maybe the wheels could be smaller which would keep it from making contact.
I bought one of these trolleys, but no matter how hard I try, I cannot get it onto the trolly. I have a Triumph Bonneville and when I press down on the arm of my centre stand, the trolley and the bike move, but the stand won't snap into place. Very frustrating. I have no problem getting my bike onto the centre stand on my garage floor - just not on the trolly.
Hmm. Try locking the little caster wheels when trying to put it on.
@@Qbal8 Thanks but I tried that already and it still wouldn’t work. Not sure what the problem is. Two of us working together couldn’t get it to work.
@@randystocker28 Can you make a quick video and post it on RUclips? We'll figure it out.
@@Qbal8 Thanks! I just received a message from the manufacturer and they suggested putting a 1/4” piece of wood behind the back wheel when lifting it onto the stand. I’ll give that a try and let you know. Thanks for the offer of assistance!
@@randystocker28 Ok Randy, please let us know here if that works should anyone else need help.
Looks and sounds like when you take the bike off the device it hits hard on the top of the device. Is there any damage to the bottom of the Goldwing after many dismounts?
Great review mate, well done, thanks!
Thx Darren!
I was waiting to hear the trunk lid crack when you put weight on it.
As long as you don't put too much weight on it, it's ok. Thank you for the comment Rod.
I cringed when you pushed down on the trunk lid. It ain't that strong and it is VERY expensive to replace. You don't know how much weight is too much until it is too late.
wow awesome. I live in central Arkansas hope to see you in the wind.
Thx Sam!
Very informative video thanks a lot!
Thx for the comment!
My husband has a Goldwing as well and I want to get him this for his birthday. Where can I find it? I see ones for 500lbs but I know a Goldwing is 800-850lbs.
Hi Becky, in the begining of the video in the garage, I showed on camera the info. I also put it in the description box below the video. Thank you for commenting!
Just got one and it works great. One problem though, I have to cross an expansion joint to put my bike what I want it. My thought is to fill the section near where the bike crosses. Any ideas about what I could use?
What kind of motorcycle do you have?
@@Qbal8 A 2009 GL1800 Goldwing. About 900lbs. I think I may have found a partial solution: I had some 3/8" rebar that I laid in the joint and if I don't try to push the bike forward over the joint, I can get across it. Now, I'm maybe thinking that if I get some sort of epoxy filler and pour it in with the rebar to the level of the surrounding floor, it might work.
@@brenttownsend348 Ok Brent. It would be great if you could make a video and show others what you are doing. Someone may be in the same situation and it could help them. At least post a comment back with your results. Thx again!
@@Qbal8 I never did try the epoxy idea. I've learned to work with the rebar solution and it's been fine. It's all in the approach and being comfortable with the dolly as you learn to use it. One thing I have noticed after the last eight months; my right knee and hip are getting a little hinky after putting it up on the center stand almost daily but I think the solution to that is I'll add another 1/2" to the plywood pad I use to raise the back tire that reduces the effort of putting the bike on the dolly. I'm still happy with the dolly. It was worth it.
My bike fell off one, just strap the front wheel plus the stand together....
I can see a short rubber speed hump at the front door of your garage!!! Move the dolly to the hump and away you go
Good man 👍👍
Thx!
Where can I buy one of those dollys
www.legalspeeding.com/Park-n-Move.htm#.XZVUgRRlmhQ
Thank you
nice demo
Thx!
I like the device. Would be handy in the garage.
And this is an older model. The new ones have a better locking device instead of the screw.
May I ask, how is it 5 years later? I am thinking of getting this one.
Still works great. I use it mostly in the winter.
@@Qbal8 Awesome! Then I will pull the trigger. TY :-)
I especially think it is good for someone up north that doesn't ride much in the winter and keeps their bike in the garage. It just allows you to move it around to get to other stuff.
@@Qbal8 Im actually in NC but I am a warm weather rider. Its meant mostly when I come home and I want to turn it around in my garage that doesnt have much space due to my truck. Im tired of backing it out everytime I want to go out. This is going to be great!
@@JARVISdotEXE Hope it works out well for you.
Hi there,
Great video and your garage is very clean!!
Do you have any dimensions for this dolly? I cant seem to find them anywhere...
There is a website link in the description box below the video Ben. It will have pictures and other relevant info. Thanks for commenting!
Thanks now I want tea! Pretty cool dolly.
+RedNeck Biker109 Dudes don't do tea time. How about a beer instead? lol
Good idea!
+RedNeck Biker109 Yeah, the only thing is that the beer might make me sick. LOL :-)
+renegadebiker24 why?
He can have a tea. We'll have a beer. :)
Hi, you may not have received my last post. Just wondering how the dollys would handle slightly rougher terrain suc as a cobble lock driveway?
Robert, I would say that this dolly performs the best on a smooth surface. As far as a cobblestone type is concerned, it just wouldn't roll as nice and easy as it does in this video. The only way to know is to try it and see. BTW, the newer model is improved and doesn't have screws that lock the casters. From what the website shows, it looks like it has foot activated locks which makes operating it much easier.
Thanks for your help from an overcast Dublin, Ireland!
The main stand mysteriously moved from the back to the centre!!!!
That is correct Geoff. I recorded that part of the video a few times and happened to choose one that was best centered because I thought it would look better. Thank you for commenting!
Do you know how it will do on tiles, because there are tiles on the floor in my garage...?
A smooth surface will work much better.
Thnx!👍
nibbit1969 j
your afraid of it falling off or tip over
No, it's quite stable while on the dolly.
Mine fell off...landed on me.
Strap the front wheel and the stand.
Pleased i watched this now i know how to make tea.
Lol. Thanks.
Got any good recipes for brisket rub?
Joe Pasquarello Yes. Kosher salt, black pepper and a light dusting of worcestershire powder.
Thanks! Hadn't thought about the Worcestershire powder.
You can get it on Amazon. Next time when you get the chance, look at the ingredients on the back of a bottle of liquid worcestershire. They are great seasonings as a dry rub.
Good tip. I have a spice store near me. They should have it.
I'm still on the fence-post with the Park n Move.
Joe Pasquarello They now make a newer model that does not have the screws for locking the caster wheels. It's a little lever you can activate with your foot. Much better than this model.
Cool, I can dance with my motorcycle when the wife goes to bed!
Yes you can, "ALL NIGHT LONG!"
Think I missed the point. Can you spin again?
Just trying to show how it works.
earl grey with brown sugar = all u can taste is the suger.
lol yea another video not sure how to go in circel
I was just trying to give a demonstration.
Will it work in the Desert?
Frank Stocker why?
There are much cheaper options
Wow, I'll be dizzy for the next 12 hours . . . . .
the lock is not nice...
It's a mean one.
Holy fuck. Fast forward to 2min. And then to 4:30. Jesus fucking christ
Brakes suck ass.
Holy smokes, man... learn how to use your GoPro or do some freaking editing.
Sorry Gary. I'm trying to get better.
Qbal good man.
My opinion crap
Hi can you send the link where i can get one please
have a scooter that would work great in my garage
