What if you ran a pipe thru all 3 , space them as needed than drill holes and use pins to keep them at the distance you want.

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?

Won't move if you don't hammer into it. Ease in, you feel your tire against it, stop and hit the pedal. Done.


I leave mine in gear so it doesn't try to roll backwards. If you're on a slope at all, by all means your bike will want to naturally want to roll in that direction.



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?
Would really need to know how much space you have to work with. If you can put all three side by side standing upright, then you're good.

No problem with either pulling in or pulling out.  My garage floor is level, so I leave it in neutral, but in gear is fine.

When riding in, just approach slowly, get bike straight in, then ease forward until most of the way in--kick the release lever, and the chock closes on the (back of) the front wheel.  This eases the bike all the way in, without moving the chock, and holds bike securely upright.  It also prevents bike from rolling forward or backward.  I then put down the kickstand just for the extra security (although I find it's not really necessary, and KS doesn't even touch ground; chock keeps bike upright and is very stable).

When I'm ready to leave, I hold the handlebar just for extra security, step on the chock's holding bar to release it (to allow rearward motion of bike, although it's still held upright by chock and kickstand), then mount up and put KS up.  Again, these precautions are for extra security, but not really needed...WheelDock is very stable.

If you want to provide extra resistance to "sliding" of chock, a piece of rubber mat under the main support can help.

Doing the inspection tomorrow so will get exact measurements. No way to get all 3 side by side as my wifes medium sized SUV will park in there as well (unfortunately..).

garage is 210" wide by 226" long. Taped it off on Xmas and will put 2 in Wheeldock chalks straight in with chalk against back wall and 1 on Condor dolly where i can either ride that bike or roll that bike behind the one I am not riding and take other. Now just need to find a way to stop my wife from stacking "things" behind whatever bike is open..
Thanks all for the help!
New issue is garage in alley and when I start bike (all 3 crazy loud, 1=Boarzilla, 1 Fulsac header and Tab Zombies, even BMW has Remus headers and exhaust and almost as loud as the Harleys..) it will wake up everyone on both sides of that alley and I usually leave Sat and Sun mornings 6:30 to 7:30 so I will instantly become the horrible new neighbor!

Congrats on the new digs Alan. Sounds like a block party is in order to meet and "charm" all of your new neighbors. And then you can somewhat get away with being THAT neighbor. I've always been the loud neighbor wherever I've lived, what with my Harleys and Classic cars and my classic rock band that practices out in my shop. I realize that being in a cul de sac, like me, and living on or near the water in a super tight community are not the same but meeting as many neighbors as possible could definitely take the edge off, and hell you may even make a few car deals!!  :nixweiss:

Alan you're not in an HOA are you?  If so, you might want to check the CC&Rs for any motorcycle restrictions.  Should be OK since they're all street licensed but in Calif. you never know.

No HOA or otherwise thank God. Just a bunch of hung over youngsters and some old farts like us.

Starting a bike at that time should be fine.
I usually get out and fire up the snowblower at 6 am sometimes at 5:30 am when it's coming down hard. So if anyone has a problem tell them to just be happy they aren't my neighbors.
Besides motorcycle start up is just soothing music for the sole.
