Ok, I gotta get the GS up three flights of stairs

TadMC · June 30, 2006, 04:53:53 PM

I wanna rejett, drop a lunchbox, and maybe a new sprocket,

I'd just like to do it in a controlled environment, thing is I live in an apartment complex with no garage, so it looks like im gonna be luggin that thing up 3 flights... well really 2 and a half to get it into my apartment.

I got 3 of my buddies to help me out with it, but im not going to do it untill I get my jets, filter, and sprocket ordered

PS, Ill take pictures of the WHOLE thing, getting it up the stairs, it sitting in my bedroom, the rejet, the box, the sprocket, and getting that thing down!

Yup, thats a pretty bad idea.

RVertigo · June 30, 2006, 04:58:35 PM

Dude...

Call your parents, siblings, in-laws, friends, or whateverthehell with a garage...

Rent a ground-level storage unit...

TadMC · June 30, 2006, 05:00:26 PM

Why do yall think im crazy?

I mean, I doubt my bike would fall through the floor

Phaedrus · June 30, 2006, 05:01:20 PM

Bah, garages are "nice to have" but not need to have". I don't have a garage, I do everything right out in my driveway. Rain or shine.

See if OMW will let you use his garage

You will spend more time hauling that up and down the stairs than you will doing the job. If anything, bring the carbs upstairs and tweak them if you really must.

TadMC · June 30, 2006, 05:03:18 PM

All I gotta do is gett it up here once and get it down once.

Im gonna take my time with the carb and sprocket, so it'll be a couple of days in my back bedroom

RVertigo · June 30, 2006, 05:05:24 PM

That's a terrrrrrrible idea.

TadMC · June 30, 2006, 05:09:16 PM

BUT WHY!!!?

RVertigo · June 30, 2006, 05:13:34 PM

'cause one guy tripping on one step could mean SERIOUS injury to one or everyone involved... AND totally f%$k your bike.

It's just retarded...

THEN!!! You have to get it back down...

Just be a man and beg someone to use their garage.

TadMC · June 30, 2006, 05:21:14 PM

I dont know about that, that sounds like flawed logic.

Call 1800PODS... have em drop off one of those portable storage units in your driveway. Use it for 3 days. Then return it. Duh.

Wear you gear!

Honestly .. I bring my bike up into the other half of my double house to store it over the winter... Its gotta come up some steps arount the back of the house and up a few more steps to the kitchen.. I think its worth it.. I get 2-3 buddies to help w/ mine and we have no trouble... Be careful it is easy to go to fast and drop it. Get some wood planks measure and make sure it will fit in everywhere you need to go ahead of time

Have beer chilled and waiting for your budz

honestly man bad idea. most of the jobs you wrote of, can be done with the parts not the entire bike. pull the parts outside, bring them in. cause 1 mishap, bike falls over. im not saying it will, however the chancwe is there up one flight let alone 3. but bike falls over apt mngrs get hella pissed etc etc etc just my opinion though

annguyen1981 · June 30, 2006, 07:04:33 PM

It's only 400 pounds... I'm sure many people have lugged heavier objects up and down stairs (refridgerator, stove, etc...) Just be careful...

BTW... If you're gonna take pictures of the whole process, won't your buddies be pissed that you're not helping them?!?!?!

TadMC · June 30, 2006, 07:19:22 PM

yeah I used to move furniture, and sometimes that meant moving 350 lbs with just 2 people

also, my GF will be taking the pics durring the process

Phaedrus · June 30, 2006, 07:37:54 PM

take it up piece by piece and then reassemble it

When I was in high school, my roommate and I would store our bike in our apartment on the 12th floor, so that we don't have to pay for the parking for the whole winter. We would drove our bike into the elevator, and to fit the bike into the elevator, we would drive the front wheel up until it is resting on the side of elevator, then back it out when it reach 12th floor, then push it across the corridor into our apartment.

But I don't think I would want to carry a bike up any stairs......

TadMC · June 30, 2006, 09:06:38 PM

yeah, but I think itll be cool,1

and 2 Ive always wanted to do a chick on a motorbike, and now I can do it in the privacy of my own home

rangerbrown · June 30, 2006, 10:05:49 PM
