So as recent "empty nesters" we are selling our large house out in the boonies with large garage and lots of space where I have each of my 3 motorcycles in a Cycle Shell and buying a very small house by the bay in San Diego with a very small 2 car (barely) garage. I will park my car outside but cant of course my wife will park her large SUV in the garage. I have seen over the years deals where you pull your bike onto it and in a chalk then bike will roll around? anyone have any suggestions?

Is the garage tall enough for a lift?  If so put the bikes above the SUV.

If not you might check out

Put center stands on the bikes and park them upright. Two bikes on side stands use as much room as three bikes on center stands.

Ship me the Maple. That will save you some room


I know the style of dolly you're talking about. I tried the cheap Harbor Freight one before and it wasn't pretty. Spend the money on quality ones if you do go that route.

Can you add 10 feet out from the back of the garage for a bike room or would that end up in the swimming pool?

I don't have center stands but when I do have multiple bikes in the garage (guests mostly) I use two Condor chocks to keep them upright.

For winter storage I tend to put my bike on a J&S Jack. On the jack I can move the bike anywhere I want in the garage. If the garage floor has a slope it will move on it's own if you don't use a wedge or use floor stops.

At least 1, if not 2 would look great in the living room, unless of coarse you want to STAY married. LOL

  all the advice above is well intended,but! these guys were not thinking properly and i am sure there hearts are in the rght place. if, you are retired there should only be two bikes in the garage. the third bike should be on the road ALL the time. now i have solved your problem.

X2.  Get the bikes upright & off the jiffy stands, will save a lot of room.

This shows 3 bikes in what was a Mother-in-law's room option instead of a double deep garage option on one side of a 2 car garage. I installed a sliding double door set-up to the main 2 car garage and converted the room our motorcycle garage.  3 bikes fit well with the wheel chocks, although 2 of the bikes are not baggers I would think you could still get 3 HD's in this space which is the same size as 1/2 of a 2 car garage.

Damn Alan, you've got problems.....should have just bought a toy hauler!
  You can bring one of those bikes over here to Tucson and leave it for when you visit!  I'm not to particular......any one is fine!

I don’t know the brand, but a buddy who downsized bought a lift that picks the bike up from the side and raises it up.  When the bike is raised up, the hood of his wife’s SUV fits under the bike.
