  Oh, a man after my own heart. It's the most brilliant bodge. I think we even have some timber that will do. I am so fed up with trying to shove my bike backwards up a gravelly mound into the shed. Now in one bold move I can zoom up the ramp, gravel flying, and twizzle elegantly round on this brilliant thing. I have longish legs and a CBF 250 so I'll reach the floor. I guess I might screw it up now and then but hey. Thank you bro'.

  I just got done building my “Lazy Susan” and it is working great! Cost me a bit more then yours did due to the price of lumber. It was still less then $50 and I’m very happy to spend that amount ( or more) for something that prevents aggravation and tension from almost dropping my bike every time I tried to maneuver it in and out of my backyard shed. As a 76 year old that still loves to ride, this contraption is priceless. Thank you very much for this well done video. 😃

  That’s great to hear! Ya it saved me a 6+ point turn every day. And I had a light bike. Super handy in tight spaces. Not sure what you’re riding but the next one I build, I’ll prob go with a sturdier wood which will definitely bring the price tag up. Nice thing too is the lazy susans we’re using are rated at 1000lbs so great for most bikes. Safe ridin!

  Cutting a 45 degree edge at the end of the long board will make it easier for the bike to drive up onto it. Without this, the bike may try to push the board back instead of driving up onto it.

• 
  @BenRenschen2 ай бұрын

  For sure. Just depends on your setup. Me rolling up on dirt, it would never push enough that I couldn’t mount the thing. However if you’re on a smooth surface, I can see that. Easy fixes there though. 45deg cut being one of em.

  Will it work for a big road glide they weigh about 800lbs

• 
  @BenRenschen Жыл бұрын

  That will entirely depend on the strength of the materials...namely the wood. I noticed my 2x12 pine wood (softwood) would bow a bit under the weight of me and my bike (combined about 750lbs). So between your 800lbs bike and your weight, what do you think? Might need a hardwood (oak, hickory, etc) although it will be more expensive. Whichever way you go, let us know if you end up building one!

  @richardault8783 Жыл бұрын

  for a few more dollars you need to get some old bed rails (yard sale). you'll need to do some cutting and drilling but you can use them to stiffen the top board for heavier bikes. 5 or 6 feet on each side centered is plenty. or if you can find some old angle iron/steel laying around, clean them up to look pretty. i think you put the lazy susan upside down by the way.

• 
  @BenRenschen Жыл бұрын

  Yeah totally could do some kind of rails. I went for lowest effort and cheapest I could get away with. It certainly lasted the 18 months of daily use. But this is also California and didn’t get much rain so didn’t have to worry about warping.

  I bought one of those, too. Used but unused (know what I mean?) for a $100. It pained me royally too because it took up too much space, and it actually moved forward as I was trying to get the bike onto it. Those casters don't lock. Happily, some sucker bought it off me for $120.00. My bike CTX700, weighs 500 lbs wet but even at my grey age I can still maneuver it backwards into its parking space, and ride it out. Smooth garage floor, though. Not like Ben's backyard.

  @amglover43612 жыл бұрын

  Thanks for the video, I'm going to make one myself. I was thinking that, as mine will be sitting on a hard garage floor, perhaps I don't even need the smaller piece of wood and that the lazy susan can sit straight on the floor. Appreciate that wouldn't work in your case, with a dirt floor

• 
  @BenRenschen2 жыл бұрын

  If that’s the case I probably wouldn’t use pine wood. That bike was 584lbs and the top board on my build bowed a bit when mounted. In your scenario it would probably scrape a concrete floor when rotating to the point of being a problem/nuisance. Though maybe there’s some low profile casters that are strong enough for the underside of the ends of the top board. You could always try it with cheap materials and add your base/bottom board if necessary.

  Hey Frankie - that’s a good question. So I’m about 5’ 10” and obviously it depends on you and your bike, but with this build you’re only lifting off the ground about 3-3.5 inches. Each board in my vid is going to be about 1.5” in height in their position as seen. Add another fraction of an inch for the lazy Susan. The only thing I could thing of (for you) is if you made a much larger base to also support you putting your feet down - at least you could keep 1.5” less height to the ground. Short on a bike is tough but I have to imagine there’s a way to get crafty. Even if it’s tossin on some home made (over boot) slip on clogs w/ rubber lining on the bottom for grip.
