Hauling motors up stairs

[montessa172]

Apartment life doesn't lend itself to the type of work that I like to do on my bike so I do all my work at my parents house which is luckly only 20 minutes away. Garage is unheated so my bike and one of my dads are both in the basement. Both came down in pieces and will go up the stairs as rollers, one of the back breaking parts of bringing them in in pieces is getting the motors down the stairs and back up for any sort of cleaning / sandblasting outside. So we came up with this, works for yamaha 650 motors and i'm sure the concept could be used for motor... All made out of scrap metal over the course of an hour, guy going up the stairs first gets the long handle and the short one is for the guy that has the motor at face level.. Cheers

Haha...whatever works! I'd probably just carry it, but I deliver treadmills for a living and obviously have no regard for my back.

sr250 engines, mildly amusing, a cb650 engine...heavier than expected.
