I have 2 bikes right now, The ZX14-R that i rode to the Sturgis rally (550 pounds), and the 1984 Goldwing Aspencade that i rode to Daytona (800 pounds)
There may be a 3rd, smaller, bike added in the next month or so (400 pounds).

Here's the current owner with my possible next off-road bike:

Cool bikes! I was wondering the need for a full width ramp vs. two narrow ramps, so now I get it. Thanks.

Yeah, putting my feet down on the ramp while slowly powering the bike up it is far less terrifying than riding up a 1 ft wide strip of ramp at speed.
:shock:

Tiny bit of work done in the high winds yesterday. I now have a square frame for the liftable roof made out 1x2 rectangular aluminum tube.
When the wind eventually dies down, I'll be able to weld in some roof rafters every 24"
