A really good idea,,,,,,,,,,

but then again, if you've got that much space in the garage you could buy 3 more bikes  :banana:

I used to have one of the plastic ones and it worked fine, but if I need to turn the bike around I back it out, ride it around the car park and reverse it in, all whilst in the saddle. You just need longer legs is all :-). I gave my turntable away years ago.

I've got 3 bikes! The turn table will go outside

I have long legs and two garages, I either wheel it out or do a U turn in the garage.

But a good idea that though.

Likewise Alan.......before recently moving house the 'Rev Shed' was this big (this shows half of it)  :yes: 



The new house 'Rev Shed is only a shade smaller  :grin:

I know its a GS site but take a look at Nippy Normans .. he sells a bike trolly made by Wunderlech ... small and easy to move around ... I don't have one yet but when I follow Mr Wolf and do my garage up I shall invest in one at that point ..... :yes:

Hopefully a little helpfull advice i made this turntable a couple of years ago with the lazy susan.i put a plate on top and underneath,the whole thing is now 1/2 inch plus thick and it makes for hard work to get some bikes up onto the centre stand. the second turntable i made was 2 3mm thick mild steel plates about 14 inches square with a hole in the middle and a bolt and nylock nut .smeared a bit of general purpose grease between the two plates and works a treat ,also has a much lower profile so easier to put the bike on.
if i double what my speedo says im still as fast as i used to be.

Found this in the US.  I must say I'm intrigued.

Years ago I bought an Abba turntable (please no abba jokes  :mfr_lol:) which looked much the same thing, I'm sure it's still in my garage so where.
