Help me roll bike off trailer?

strangerin · 07-30-2012, 09:03 AM

Looking for a helper...I’m hoping that this will mostly be standing on other side of bike while I back it down ramp and off trailer. But the bike Does weigh 800lb and I’d like some backup just in case. I live near the Esmaralda Golf Course on N side. Planning on doing this in evening. In addition to gratitude, beer is on me when we’re done.
PM me if you feel you like helping.

Let me know if you don't get any, "Local," help, and I can run up there.

Whew, 800! I don't think I'd try that alone either.

What time ???

Here's a helpfull 'Trick'. Before moving the bike. Slip it into 2nd gear. Then as you ease it down the ramp, use the clutch for your 'brake'. That way your not stretched across the bike reaching for a brake lever.
