Don't mean to hijack the thread, just a question.

I remember seeing a stand like this that also allowed you to rotate the bike up or down ( like \ or / ) so that it would be easier to work under it. Did I dream this up or can someone link me to it?

Thanks.
 
I believe Donald at platinum power sports has a version of this for a good price.

I made my own centerstand dolly, so that I can push the bike around on it, balancing it. A bit tricky, and use it in the shed I built for storage. For daily use I wouldn't use it in the garage, too hard to get off and on. For the garage I have done the bike in front of the car thing. I got tired of my wife and daughter pulling cars too far into the garage, so I installed a photoeye at bumper height inside the door, connected to a light. When the car is in far enough the light goes out. STOP NOW!
 
i have the same space as you. 2 car garage. I park 2 bikes, 1 sedan and 1 suv + 1 Big snowblower. also have shelves for tools etc. and keep trash cans/recycle bins in garage as well.

in the summer, one car stays in driveway and opens up comfy space for both bikes.

in Winter, bikes are tucked in and asleep. I park one in front of sedan on stands. and 1 parallel to the wall (no stand) next to the sedan. i have to park the car on an angle to avoid hitting bikes. i have a tennis ball in front to let me know when i have cleared the door so it may close, but not close enough to hit the bike in front. i have cardboard on the right side to help me know not to the hit the bike parked on the side.

as for snowblower. it is also in front of the cars which is quite annoying as i have to shovel the snow, move one car out a bit to be able to get to the snowblower to move it out the garage and get to the driveway.

The only toy mentioned above that i would spent $ on would be the 4 post lift, but i currently don't' have anything like that.
