Alan, the Condor Wheel Chocks are a great idea too! I have two for my trailer.

One thing to consider is that you live in Earthquake Country. While the quality bike lifts are sturdy enough when strapped down, as a fellow Californian I'd still feel better with my bike on the ground on a center stand or Condor Chock. And having the bike on the ground makes it easier to get out and ride, which we can do year round in SoCal!

I have an MC460 Motorcycle Dolly for storing, detailing and working on the bike.   I love it but you have to first raise it on a jack but then it's easy to move around...

A piece of 2x6 under the jiffy stands of both our bikes saves me about a foot of width

thanks all! I will try the Condor chalks which I think will work. If not I will go with the condor dolly's so I can move them around out of the way easier

  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.  :orange: :huepfenjump3: :huepfenjump3: :mango: :mango: :bananarock: :bananarock: :apple: :carrot: :jalapeno: :cucumber: :cherry:
Believe me, if I was retired there would be only 2 bikes in there at once! I took 60 days off between jobs a year and a half ago and rode 58 of those days, absolutely had a blast! All my work week is a countdown to getting on a bike..

I use the Wheeldock on my lift and in my trailer Alan, they can be used free standing on any level floor and you can just roll in or out of them with very little effort.

No Alan, I have replaced mine with the Wheeldock which can be used unsecured to anything because there is no apex to overcome going in or out of it therefore there is no reason to secure it on the garage floor, unless you choose to, just roll in and step on the release and step off the bike. Done.

This is it. I have one also and love it. No hump to go over or back out of. Ride in, hit the foot pedal and the clamp comes up. Stand on the arm to lower the clamp and roll back out. Easy peasy.

I also use the Wheeldock, for a bit more security I remove the rubber plugs on the front bar and insert a 4' X 1 1/2" pipe.

I've had both the WheelDock and the Condor.  I like the WheelDock much better--no hump to get over.  Very stable and easy.

That Wheeldock looks great. Does it move when you ride it in? When you release it is it secure until you can get on the bike?

Anyone know if I buy 3 of the Wheel Docks can I arrange them in a single garage spot so I can get any of the bikes in and out without moving the others?
Just watched the video on the Wheel Dock and Im all in. Hoping I can just do them and not mess with the dolly's. If I cant arrange all 3 maybe I can do 2 on the dock and only have to do 1 on a dolly?
