6 years later, I'm still waiting to see where I made a mistake....
Some guys just have to justify to themselves why 'saving' 350 bucks (for use on a multi-thousand dollar machine) is the best option and share that justification in a thread titled BEST MOTORCYCLE JACK

Remember - you could make a thread titled "Why Ice Water Is Refreshing On A Hot Summer Day In The Mojave If You Haven't Had Anything To Drink In Three Days And You Find A Man Selling Ice Water For A Dollar More Than The Lukewarm Water That He's Also Selling", and somebody would come and tell you how you're an idiot because you paid an extra dollar for ice.

Why do we argue or pound our chests in defending or criticizing a stupid jack is beyond me? Let it go, ride your bike or drink more beer!

Can't believe how large this thread has become....

Well done, sir. You have summed up the essence of almost every "what's the best jack" thread on this forum, at least the dozens started in the few years I've been here.

How many there are is equally puzzling
