I got tired of busting my ass, and rolling around on the ground when working on bikes, so I -finally- broke down and bought a motorcycle lift. one of the 350$ ones from harbor freight.
I got it home, but then discovered I could not get it from the van, to the shop. How was I ever going to get this thing moved... my eye landed on my pig, a 1980 HD FXE1200... and an idea formed..
And some rope, and I was off to the races!
And away I went, towing my new lift, crate and all, behind me!
Getting it into the shop, however, posed a problem.... we needed to figure out a way to move the lift -into- the shop....
A winch, a genset with a 12VDC leg, and some sheetrock screws.
resulted in this....
Which, FINALLY! gave me this...
