Anyone use one of these in the garage to store/park your scooter? I am thinking if the bike is upright, it would not take us as much room. This one is on eBay for 89.00

its a few miles away... they warntee all their stuff, so when it brakes... and it almost always does with their power tools, you bring it back and they hand you a brand new one... and i am poor. so it works

The only question about the one you are looking at is, there is no adjustment for the size of the front wheel. not sure if it make a big difference but I purchased a Condor and had to adjust it to fit. Bought it at a show in Chitown a few months ago. I fell for the demonstration.... I'm a sucker for that stuff. The samples in the grocery store I buy too.

Dynaflyer,
How does it do as far as space saving? I park my bike in the corner of the garage, and believe it or not, the Streetbob takes up more room than the Roadking did. More of a lean.... Does the wheel chock save space because it holds the bike upright? Seems it would.
Thanks for the info!

I know their tools are pretty crappy. You can find some decent stuff when it comes to odd tools and such for cheap. They even have a couple of decent trailer setups.
Being that their tools are ***, I was a little leary of buying something from Harbor Frieghtthat is supposed to hold my bike up in place.
Maybe I'll stop in there today and check it out for the hell of it.

Jakeiniraq,
First and most important, THANK YOU for your service and sacrifice!
Second, with the Condor, is it something that you can wheel the bike onto/into and walk away from it in the garage without fear of it falling? Or would you always strap it down (which defeats the purpose in my opinion).

Once you have the stand adjusted for your tire, you can walk away from the bike. It is very stable and standing straight up, yes, you do save room. Just be cautious about spending $80 on the chock. It has been said that you get what you pay for and I'd be leary about putting my bike in something that I didn't have the confidence in.
