Default Dyna Through Front Door?

Has anyone had any experience with parking there Dyna in their house and if, so about what size their door opening was. Living at the beach and going over all my alternatives I think the only way to really safe-guard the baby from rusting is to keep it in the house, but I don't know if it'll fit..., so before I build a ramp to try I was curious to see if anyone was able to get theirs through the front door?

P.S. Any ideas on avoiding the landlord when I do have the bike in the living room ? lol.

Get a tape measure out. It should fit with a little wiggle/twist of the bars as you go in. As for the landlord, tell him an art deco piece from a very well known artist ***** G.

Tried to get mine in my house trailer and nope won't fit, and it might have caved the floor in if I would have gotten it in...

ROFL, that was good...A carpenter was telling me all front door openings have to be the same width at least to fit a wheelchair through...like 36 inches or something? Think thats enough for a wide glide?

A 3'0 opening should fit the bike through. And remember, it's your new loveseat - on large coaster wheels.

Tried to get it in the house and used a ramp to get it a few steps down.. forget it! much to heavy.

HeHe,don't know if yours will fit,but one thing I do know. If one of your drinkin' buds decides he's too drunk to ride,it won't fit in the back door of at least one beer joint I know of. Course it could have had something to do with the fact that all three of us coudn't have hit a bull in the *** with a base fiddle.

Amazingly his bike was still there the next morning.

Good Luck

Tom

I've seen some of the women in trailers. If they don't cave in a floor, a 700 lb bike won't.

As far as having a bike in an enclosure, I went over to a friends house last Friday night and him and his wife were pulling into the garage as I snuck in under the door right behind them. He opened the car door as his wife was trying to hear some comedy bit on the radio so naturally I brought the Cycle Shack turnouts to full roar right beside the car door in a 20 x 20 garage, it must be nice having me for a friend.

Well, I tried today...wouldn't fit the handlebars are too wide....So, do you guys think if say I kept my bike under a bike barn with a heater for 3-4 days out of the week at the beach and sprayed it off once that day and cleaned and waxed it again on the weekend it would be good? I was also thinking that I have an outside faucet at work I could spray it down every day at lunch when I did keep it at my house, would that help or would letting water dry in the sun somehow hurt it? Thanks.
