Hoping you guys could offer some tips on getting my low rider into my shed. Bringing bike home from dealer Saturday. My shed is about 6 inches up off the ground. I bought a 70" long ramp by 48" wide. So it's not steep at all. I don't think I will be able to ride it into my shed because the doors are on the long side of my shed. Meaning I only have 10' ft. To ride the bike into. I remember on my demo ride it was pretty hard to push around. Now I'm worried if I will be able to push it up the ramp? Backing out of shed should be ok downhill cause I can lean bike on my hip and ride the brake. Please post up any ideas or tips for getting it up the ramp. Thanks

 

LOL. Just ride it up.

The thought of where you were going to store your brand new bike never crossed your mind?

 

Doh!

 

It crossed my mind before..but after seeing the ramp on the shed,it looked sketchy...lol

 

Just push it up? 6 up inches over about 6 feet isn't much at all.

 

Id ride it up. You be surprised on how many people I've heard drop their new bikes and not from riding it's from pushing them in the driveway or garage lol
Ride that bad boy up the little 6 inch ramp. You can go slow and steady and power walk while on the bike. The first time will be the toughest and then after you get used to it, it will be second nature.

 

Ride that baby in! I wish I could ride mine in... the front door of my house is to narrow I have to come in at an angle and turn the bars all the way one way then walk it through then cut the bars the other way it's a pain in the *** but I'm looking at getting a shed this spring

 

buy some platform boots

 

Like someone else said...6" over almost 6' isn't much. If your paranoid have a friend help you back it up the ramp. That way you can just ride it out. Trying to back it out with it leaning on your hip is not a good idea. If you push it in forward, sit on it and back it out.

I see a possible "how not to put your new bike in the shed" youtube video in our future.

 

I know the wrong and the right way to get a bike into and out of a shed. I think riding it in and backing out while in the saddle usually works best. Don't back it out while standing next to it. Harder to maintain a good center of balance that way. You'll figure it out. Don't stress.
