msocko3 - Regarding your lift - is that the Handy B.O.B. 1500 w/ Trike Extensions that you have in the picture? I've been looking around at several different manufacturers. What made you and your dad pick Handy?

Did you all get you Christmas shopping done this weekend? I'm DONE!! Now, just have to have Santa get me a lift table. I've been good!

Yes that is the Handy BOB 1500 with the trike extensions. We choose the Handy because it is built like a brick outhouse. We were able to see one at the dealers and was impressed at how stout they are built.

I plan on getting some Christmas shopping done this coming week, hope to put a good sized dent in it.

msocko3 - Thanks, I thought it looked like the Handy B.O.B., and you answered what was going to be my next question, i.e., what you thought of the construction. Also seems like they're priced right too.

Keep shopping and buying, someone has to get the economy moving - I'm trying to do my part, hey, it's only money, right?

ain't never seen a Brink's Truck in a funeral procession or a trailer hitch on a hearse! Nothing more useless than the pockets on the suit they bury you in...

Nothing wrong with being a little frugal though!

Happy Thanksgiving To All !!

If you have the ceiling height in your garage, you may want to consider a car lift. Prices have fallen considerably and one can be had for about the same price of a MC lift.

For less than $50, I covered my auto lift to handle a car/truck or trike. IMO, it’s the best of both worlds’.

You are %100 correct. If I would have had the ceiling height that is exactly where I would have went.
