i look at it and say **** that guys bike is not strapped the forks are not secure and he has no wheels on it. just a matter of time before it falls over! takes 2 min to put a strap on the bike and to the lift man... i have had prob over 50 customers come into the shop with damamged parts from bikes falling off the lift, have even had it happen to me! strap it!

Not worried about it falling off, I've worked on many bikes over the years on this lift, I could body check it from either side and it's not moving, it's not some cheap *** lift from harbour frieght.

I have so much crap in my shop right now, there's just a couple of trails to get around.

And I'm guilty of never straping my bike to the lift, knock on wood.

I've never done it with this bike but I have pulled many around the shop on the lift with no troubles, never been worried about it as it's very solid even at the highest lockout.

Not to make anyone jealous or anything. But I will have to put a pic up of my shop. Don't get me wrong, it's not clean! Just big enough I can get around all the clutter..lol

That's called a "working man's garage" so be proud of its appearance. If I see a pristine/clean garage the 1st thought is they don't wrench anything...

And yes I am lucky to have the garage space, it's 28'X28' double garage, from March to October my wifes truck get's the boot outside and the bikes get a stall to themselves. Sometime in the next 5 years I will be adding onto the back of the shop another 10ft' where the window is will be a large opening or pocket door, the back 10 ft will
be added on and will be my spot for my bikes.
Well when you are ready to build that Lmk. I can drive my van out,with the full tool load. Air guns,compressor etc. You buy the nails
