i dunno how handy you are

if it were me i would i would make 1 of 2 things for this

1 -- a lazy susan where u could roll up as you pull in then just turn the entire scoot

2-- heavy duty draw slides maybe 4 across the length of the spot --- some ply wood
the idea u pull up get off scoot pull out the wood like a draw flip down a little ramp
run the scoot up on the wood platform then just push it back into place like a draw

i would do number 2 if it were me

Let your truck live the life that every 4 wheeled vehicle of mine has; OUT M*ing side.

It would probably be a little pricey being that it's block but it would be pretty trick to have a seperate little roll up door just for yer bike. Prolly increase home value a little too.

No 4 wheeled vehicle in my garage either, unless it is being worked on.

HA!! I GOT IT!!

Oh lawdy I'm so pleased with myself. So you guys literally gave me some terrific ideas! I started thinking about how to get rid of the lip and I realized I had some truck bed ramps that were the exact height of the lip. Using those, they gave me just enough extra room to wiggle the bike around. That combined with turning the bike around made it for perfectly.

You guys are literally the best. I couldn't have done it without you all!

You are about the only person I know that parks a truck/car in their garage....;-) If it was between the truck and the Sportster, no contest,
the bike would get the garage and the big ole truck would sit outside. Glad to see you got a solution.
