Have you never heard of pulleys and block and tackle ?

Er yes, but I've never met anyone mad enough to hoist a heavy motorcycle
up
like that. A pedal bike, yes, but not a motorbike. No hang on, that's not
quite true, I *DO* know people who are mad enough to do that, but they
just
don't happen to own motorcycles!

You know another now.

Hmmm, plasterboard is fairly heavy stuff and my poor old neck and back
aren't too good these days, but I haven't yet checked to see if it's cheaper
than thin ply.

It's a lot cheaper than ply - when I did it I made a couple of simple
"U" shaped props to hold it in place (as someone else has said you
can buy proper adjustable supports) so you were not wrestling with
huge sheets of the stuff but two of us managed the job quite easily.
