From: Joseph Donner on 10 Jan 2010 17:08 How can I move, all alone, a disabled motorcycle (heavy, no front wheel). Any ideas? I'm all alone and don't have a pickup. I can rent a truck but how do I get the heavy bike (rear wheel and engine and frame) onto and off the truck.
From: Larry Fishel on 10 Jan 2010 17:19 Rent an engine hoist (the free standing boom type) from the local auto parts place. Charge is usually minor and sometimes free if you return it the same day or the next.
From: Larry Fishel on 10 Jan 2010 17:20 Oh yeah, and get some nylon tow straps instead of trying to use chains.

You can get a 1/2 ton crane that will go in the back of a truck for $100 at harbor freight. 2 Ton for a couple hundred. If you're gonna have a bike you might want to pick up a truck or trailer to cart it around when necessary. Jim
