I get that, however this is a temporary solution. Next year well be getting a place up north for summers - once we lock down this new house with impact windows, doors, and a roll down shutter over the glass doors on the lanai (or porch for you non-Florida people). So It will be a waste of money at that point.

Until April/May most likely. But do you mean use the straps to pull the bike upright against the wall??

Yes, this is what I was thinking. Obviously not as secure as the dolly solution, but your original post mentioned thrift and you later mention the fact that it's a very temporary solution. So long as the bike is fairly upright, there's not a lot of gravitational force to pull against the anchors. If it's in gear, you don't have to worry about movement along that axis. It should work, although you may not want to put anchors into the wall that you may then have to patch later.

Decided on a different direction. A self storage place about 5 min from me has 10x10 drive up storage rooms for $50/mo. Since we have stuff from the old house we decided its easier to keep the dyna there, instead of cramming it into the already tight garage.
problem solved.
