No Jess, I'm doing good with my weight but I'm not quite that thin  Yep, she's a lift table. Wanted one for a while, so after my MC jack gave out earlier this year, I decided to pull the trigger and ordered this last week. I got a good deal on this one, stocked in a town about 2 hours West of me. After just inching past the middle of my 6th decade last month, no more squatting on my shop chair, poking around on my knees, or sitting on my ass trying to lift that rear tire in place. Full air operation, 1500 lbs capacity, removable side extensions, heavy duty wheel chock/vise and a nice heavy service jack. Servicing, tinkering, and cleaning the Valk, OldWing, and ...(??) is about to get a lot more enjoyable again      |

Very nice. That whole garage is my dream. I've set up my 2 10X12 sheds the best I can, but nothing to compare to your sweet setup. |

Heavy envy. I hate my using lift so much I'd almost rather pay not to use it anymore. The herky jerky, fast dropping thing scares the crap out of me.

I've always wondered for those with bike lifts, what do you use when you need to jack the bike up to remove a tire or work on forks or back end?

Every lift table I've ever seen has tie down points or front tire holders/clamps that are used to keep the bike upright while using another lifting mechanism (like a hydraulic jack or scissor jack to lift the end of the bike you want to work on. The really good ones (IMHO) also have drop down sides so you can get up close and personal with the bike. My lift table has multiple tie down points and a drop out pan for the rear tire changes and the drop down sides. Yeah, I love it. Rams |

nice looking table. You'll appreciate it more and more to keep her shiny. Looks like tomorrow will be my last day to get some dust off, change oil and drain the carbs. then bed time for the winter.
