I am interested in the Biker Pal because it looks easy to ride on and off and looks well made. I am short and older and don't think I can push my street glide on and off the Harbor Freight dolly. The drawback is the Biker Pal is very expensive. Anyone have any experience with this?
Some of these market that you can ride onto it, swivel the bike around on the dolly, and ride off. Problem is that they only include an attachment for the kickstand on one side. So, once you ride off of it, you'll need to dismount and manually turn the dolly around before you can back onto it. Would be nice if they supported riding onto/off of from either direction.

I've had the one from Harbor Freight and it is made for sport bikes. A touring bike is definitely to big and heavy for the HF Dolly. I used it on my Deuce for a short period of time but even it was a little to much for the dolly. Then I bought the one from Discount Ramps and it works like a champ.
I made this short video of my wife rolling it around my shop to give you an idea of how easy it works.

That's a point to ponder. The reason I wouldn't want that is that it would take up more space.
just for what it is worth. i have the HF dolly works very well with my sportster it moves fairly well with the bike on it but you wont be able to dance with it. i use it mostly in the winter when my truck is not out on the drive.
i got mine for less the $50 (assembled) it was the display model and they were taking down the display .... timing is everything
oh yea.. i ride on it and off it no problem, outside of what 58sniper said.
