That engine is mighty purdy! Is that a custom build? Looks almost like an early DASA to me. Looks like you also have a 760 Waveraider in a picture?

Seth Enslow has to be one of my favorite riders. Back then riding was a way of life.

Time to time. I have a garage I can keep it in when it is rideable. Id still like to see some pics if anyone has any. Just something to go off of.

I don't mind using a hand winch. The ones I have are intended for jet ski carts. If I can get a 600lb jet ski on a cart with my little 155lb 5'8" frame, I am positive I can get a 300lb bike up a few stairs. Its also free, a huge plus.

That is probably what I will end up doing. Everyone's skepticism of my previously flawless plan is rubbing off. Did he just use a board? It almost looks like it could be half stairs and half ramp.

Ideally I would do a winch, but it would have to be a crank winch. We have an electric winch thats anchored into the ground and runs down a ramp that we use to get our jet skis off the beach. The thing is more hassle than it is worth. And on top of that I can no longer get parts for it. I have...

I realize 5 steps does make a difference, but I was just throwing a number around. Its probably like 10. And as for getting it up, I am hoping to just ride it up without too much of a problem. Most of the bikes I plan to bring down are just little single cylinder project bikes that I will tinker...

EW57 - That sounds pretty good. I was wondering how to get grip. If you could find pics that would be great. Id say its around a 45 degree angle, with 10-15 steps. Not positive though. WW - If it was a dirtbike I wouldnt even be asking lol.

Thanks guys! I am already loving looking around and piling up my ideas for when I get started!

Does anyone have any pics or plans for a stairway ramp to bring bikes in and out of basements? I have seen them from time to time, but would like to see how they are set up structurally, and what angles you guys use.

Hey guys, I found this forum while searching for ideas for my latest basement project. As my name implies I like motorcycles, but anything that goes vroom is fun too. Joined right up and thought I'd introduce myself. I will be building a 1400 sq ft basement workshop sometime soon and will...
