Thought I'd throw this out there for anyone interested as it seems like a heck of a deal. I just purchased a motorcycle dolly from Harbor Freight on sale for $70 (regular $100). Really nice for moving the Ulysses around the garage during the winter months. Check it out at www.harborfreight.com Item number #95896

Have you tried it yet? I'm wondering if you'll need someone to hold it in place when you roll the bike up on to it.

It has little "ramps" on the ends that lift the end slightly when you rotate them into place. I've used one since this summer and they will keep it in place

I put my bike on it today. It's pretty slick how it works. It's got a ramp on each end that rotates down and locks the dolly in place while you load it. After the bike's loaded, you rotate the ramps up and you're off to the races. Worked great for backing my bike up into the back corner of the garage. I would recommend this to anyone who has to store their bike back in the corner of the garage for the winter. Hard to believe they can sell this stuff so cheap.

I like mine too. You just have to be careful with the hardware. During assembly I snapped at least two of the bolts that hold the casters on. Ended up replacing all the nuts and bolts ( and there are not that many) before I was through
