Backing down the driveway ?

[warp9.9]

I asked him which was louder, the tire squealing, the pipes, or Cindy screaming at him for doing that in her birthday present. He said it was a toss up.

Now if you meant longer I bet he is still hearing about it from Cindy

30 degree driveway backwards on a 360 kilo bike .. Phil cut the guy a bit of slack for ***cs sake. Bet there are shiitloads of occasional riders that wouldn't even attempt it. Turntable is a good option I reckon. Joe do not be discouraged

Only a momo would attempt to back his bike down a 30 degree grade, TC. I am not prone to cutting one any slack for buffoonery, but will give you a pass for your little boo boo.

Ive had to back my Venture down the driveway a few times. It all depended on how my cars were parked. It was a PIA. Since my driveway has now been widened prior to the Rockets arrival I now have an extra 4 feet of space and space the cars appropriately.

I'm glad this thread popped up, my wife wants to sell her sportster and get a fatboy low (the bike,not me), I'll get one of the turntables for her new ride, make her life easier if she takes it out when I'm not around. We have a brand new house, but the builder hasn't paved the driveway yet, and it will still be awhile before they do final lift on the street, it's quite the bump rolling out of the driveway, safer for her to drive it out.

You can turn a rocket around in its own length...front brake on...clutch in...rpms up...pop the clutch and walk it around. Leave the door up until the smoke clears

Croft, thank you for that link to Discount Ramps. I ordered the one you recommended, and it arrived today. Just as with some toys delivered by Santa, "some assembly required". There is a sticker on it that says "Limit 1,250 lbs", and the heft of the unit suggests that it will be up to the task.

Joe you might as well Craigslist the rest of those bikes you may need the turning room and I doubt you'll be riding them much (if at all) .. speak from experience , just about everyone I know that's bought a Rocket has hardly thrown a leg over their Non-Rockets
