carrying a bike to the 2nd floor. impossible?
i just moved into a new condo on the 2nd floor. no garage/carport, just open parking. and it snows in the winter. i don't want to give up my bike.
how many bodies do u think it would take to haul it up the stairs? suggestions? ideas?

4 people should be good enough, 5 for the angles if you have a tight staircase, its not brain surgery. if you have a balcony strap that thing up and pull it up with a pulley system

it's true, and to take it back down, just put it back on the board, and let the board slide down the stairs
though it may not be safe. Probably shouldnt do it if you havent tried so before.

Re: (Gary the no trash cougar)
wtf why put it in for the winter? My friend rode his r6 all winter. I rode my all winter too (well when I could cause I had to leave it at home for a month and a half before being able to bring it back). He even rode it in the snow a few times. My bud with an sv650 stored his in his apt on the 2nd floor over winter break but once home it stayed outside under a cover when not riding...

carried it. 3 people. 2nd floor at our place though was one short staircase up since the 1st floor was into the ground (windows at ground level). being a light naked bike also helps

I'd take the fairings off before attempting anything. But +1 for riding it up. I ride my R6 over curbs and stuff all the time.

Re: (Sijray21)
Please get a girlfriend to record this just in case haha. Honestly a bike with 4 regular guys could easily move a bike around, now it just depends on the width of your stairs.

seriously.. remove the lowers, they will get fucked on the stairs.... also clamp the front brake down so that you can grab the wheel without losing a finger in the fender, are there any turns in the stair way? 450 lbs of bike is not easy to manipulate through turns in stairs....

to the org poster - get a chain, cover, and make some room infront of your car if you want to keep it at your place

Around where I live, it's only like $20 a month for a 4'x6' storage.

Yea it's pretty cheap for winter storage. I'd guess it's even cheaper in Alaska.
I'd suggest putting something through the front axle to lift the front and then lift the rear by the swingarm or something.
