Mine lives in my dads basement for the winter but, after today it will live at home again.

In true ZUKIMON fashion, I ended up getting it for less than asking price after paying for everyone's lunch, the fuel bill and the cost of the building. Now to finish setting it up at home and building a solid, non-skid ramp to get the bike in and out without laying it down.

looks good, just build a wooden ramp, paint it with regular paint with sand mixed into it, works damn good for Non-skid-ness

Eh, I'll drag out the welder and some agle iron and get busy with it. I'm pretty damned handy with a welder and some steel. After all, I have been wheelin' for the last 12 years and building rigs!

My ex built some ramps that were originally for the four-wheeler but we used them to ramp the bikes in our storage building. I can't tell you exactly what he used...but maybe a pic will help.

Excuse the mess...he just chunked a bunch of shit in it...typical of him.



Depending upon how high it sits, even basic metal four-wheeler ramps work. We had a metal one we used as well and it worked with no problems.

Again...his domain....his mess.

funny as soon as the walls were up on mine people said I needed a bigger garage. so far it has a '74 Torino, '73 VW, the bike, the boat, tool boxes, and benches. One little spot left for working on the jeep and truck. The poor 1980 Malibu got sold, no fit.

I think my toys need more space.

Oh the cure for the gf is get her a toy to. That VW sure as hell isn't mine
