    hope some one can shed some light on my problem. i just got my shed finnished and never put a thought as to how i turn my bike around once i ride into shed. it is only 3.5 wide and not real good doing 8 point turn or more. i think i may have seen a plate bolted to the floor of a shed once and this was also a turntable that you park your bike then unlatch it and turn your bike around, these things rotated 360 degree. any one seen one or know where to get them?

    cheers

    I've seen such turn tables for luxury cars. They are built into the concrete floor or driveway. Google it and you'll see.

    You could probably make your own above ground type easily enough with a piece of checkerplate, a centre bearing, and a few sets of swivel castors.

    You could even build in a heavy duty  "eye" with which you could lock up your bike.

    I saw on the internet a while back a dolley jack system designed for that very same problem, the video image had a guy wheeling his goldwing around the garage and against the wall for storage, all he did was put the dolly under the frame and jack it up and then started moving it as it was balanced on the dolly.

    Damned if I can remember the name of the product though. But it's out there...

    Look at this if you need to purchase something. These would be more convenient than a bike lift, but then you'll need to but a bike lift as well.
