Ok, this isn't hard.

Get a length of 4x4 long enough to span the wall or railings at the top of the staircase. Attach a pulley to it with a redundant safety cable.

Run strong rope from the bottom of the staircase, up through the pulley, and back down to the triple of the bike. Put a reasonably strong guy on that rope, the pulley will carry much of the load and won't take much effort to hold the bike stationary.

Two guys to guide the bike and push up the stairs, the guy on the pulley acting as a hold and giving extra lifting force, and that bike will be up there in no time.

Work smarter, not harder. Four guys using this method can get a mil-spec H1 out of a mudhole, so three guys can get a Monster up a flight of stairs.

BP should have put out a thread like this on all special interest forums.  The spill might might have been stopped in record time.

DeuceNYC,

you're in NYC, I suggest you call up the guys at Duc Soho.  If I remember correctly they don't have access to the freight elevator on weekends and routinely carry bikes up a flight of stairs from service.   Wink

PS.. bringing it down is a different question.....

waiting waiting waiting.

just ride the f#*ker up the stairs and have someone to help with turning it on the switch back (turn of stairs) and everything will be sweet.

three of us did it many years ago with an old Suzi Katana 1100. two flights of stairs.

Riding season isn't quite over yet fella, maybe in a month or so. I appreciate all the responses, from the responsibly informative to the guys hoping for some youtube blooper action. I love/hate all of you.
