Motorcycle Turntable

[spookefoote1956]

One of the lads in the local vmcc section made one of these. A lazy susan bearing from Simply Bearings (£9.99) and a 5mm steel plate for the top. He has limited turning space to get the bike in the shed. Thought it might be a good idea.

I'm going to make one to sit on my bike lift.

Many years ago I made a turntable using an old RSJ on its side, castor wheels from an industrial trolley then bolting it to the floor in the centre. It worked a treat with my heavyweight tractor of a Guzzi 1000. I rode it up the channel then turned it 180 degrees to get out.

Easy Johnny it's only one of these.

Hi Spookie

That's the last place I'd be balancing a bike on a lazy susan on!

Spookie clearly has no fear.

There's not enough room between the other bike, bench, garden tools, lawn mower and assorted 'may be useful' clutter in my shed to rotate a bike through 180 deg.
I have seriously considered putting in another door so that I can ride in the front and out the other end...........

Couldn't you just put a castor wheel on each corner of your lift?

Yes and why then take it off the lift it would be much more stable on the road still on it.
