How to get a Panigale into a Condo

Ducati Forum

Help Support Ducati Forum:

On the elevator idea when there isn't quite enough room, perhaps loosen the front axle, remove the front tire, pull the bike in and/or around and set down on the forks carefully with towel or such underneath? I'd want to dump the oil and gas before setting in the house with the battery out on a trickle charger somewhere else. The outgassing of this stuff can't be good.

Gecko, I'd be testing that crane first with some cheap heavy object first each time you move your bikes. Perhaps some kind of seat with your GF in it (edit: but this is probably is not cheap and heavy)?

I almost pissed in my pants!!!!
Plan was:
A) Put the SL back into my living room.
B) Put the MV next to the SL.

At the end, everything happened according the plan. But during the movement of the MV, my GF mixed up hydraulic up and down action. So the MV almost crashed from 15ft down to the ground. Lots of yelling from my side, she could stop the downfall by closing the valve abruptly. Some scratches on the Blinker, Tail, and some unreplacebale CF parts, but the bike is okay and nobody is injured.

Lessons learned: The mechanic of the crane is very robust, no crack, no silly sounds.
GF: Another moment in life that takes love to the test and shows you, that you love her even though she almost killed one of your horses.

Scary scary scary. I wont lent women operate anything mechanical or electrical. very rarely ends well...
 
Gees that is fantastic,:D:D
I was thinking a small platform and just lifting it about 4 foot on a type of electric jack.
Your system is cool but it must be hard work to go for a ride.
Thank you for sharing.
