Anyone tried the Park'n'Move motorcycle skate for moving wings about on their main stand. Its on youtube. Costs $199 from the US of A +shipping,from legalspeeding.com . I am in need of something like this to move my GL1500 about. Anyone seen them in the UK?

| Why not get a motorcycle jack for the same $$ or cheaper? I found one with 1500 pound lifting capacity on clearence for $20.00. It has wheels and you could lift the bike slightly and roll it where you need it. Also lift the bike 16" for maintanance or cleaning etc. Attachment: LATV-Jclose.jpg (Downloaded 131 times)

| I don't like the idea of shifting a bike while it's on a jack. If the park'n move is the one I think it is it will be easier and safer IMO.

I found it at Tractor Supply Co. Of all places. As far as if it's as safe as a park and move thingy....can you strap the bike to to P&M like you can the jack? Is the P&M wider and more stable than the Jack?  I don't think either is really a good idea for moving a bike as they are both too small to be really safe. I like the one from HF but it still needs some tie down points in my opinion. Then again you could always just put some grease under the bikes tires and give the bike a shove.
