Turn Table
Has anyone had a similar problem and come up with a good solution?
When I return from a ride I pull into my garage . . . no problem. But, when I take the bike out I have to roll it backwards and then turn it around and push it out of the yard. Since I can't find any reverse gear on my RG, I would like to know if anyone has had the same problem and has built a turntable or whatever that would work so I can drive it out the same way I rode it in. Hate to admit I'm getting too old to back it out and turn it around with only mussle power.

Yeah, for that money I could add a door on the 'back' of my garage and pave a small loop back around to the main driveway. Then again, if you've got that kind of cash you may as well spend it.

Aerostich Rider's Wearhouse has a turntable for bikes with a centerstand. Wouldn't work with our jiffy stands. You could get one of those jacks from Sears and put industrial casters on all four ends.....jack it up, spin it around, let 'er down, remove the jack and out you go.
Just an idea.

RE: Turn Table
This might work for you without taking up so much space that a whole turn table would plus it would let you push the bike outah the way while not in use real easy. If you know someone that welds i bet they could whip one out for you real quick. http://www.cycleslider.com/
