This model is real reasonable, made by Titan out of MS, I bought this one on ebay for 429.00 free shipping but you can buy a coupon for Harbor freight on ebay for it and pick one up at the store for three something.

I got the same thing, only with cushions and leg-rests, but I use it for patients.....for the same reason....otherwise by days-end, my back would be killing me....!

With this, even elderly or handicapped people can get a good exam, without ME feeling too elderly and handicapped at the end of the day...!

Never tried to put a motorcycle on it though.... :shock:

I'll tell you what I'm amazed at......that Pitchy would spend $429 on something when he has the ability and the raw materials laying around to build one himself. Geeze Pitchy, look at all of the rum and cokes that $429 would buy. :D

Anyway, that is a nice bike lift Lenn---6

That`s quite a chair. 8)

Jack I`m getting lazy I guess though I don`t have the steel to build one anyway.
We`re trying to change out the rear brake light switch on the bike, man did they hide that thing ya can`t get a wrench on it no how.
It`s a pressure switch hid back behind the tranny plus they made it a weird shape that must take a special Harley wrench of some kind. :evil:

Oh yeah Lenn, that's a dandy. I got a coupon in the mail from Harbor Freight so mine was $300 + tax. My Sporty is on it right now. Lifts my FLH too but I think it's a bit over the 600lb. limit. Hasn't broke yet though. Happy for you.

Pitchy...there's not many people that I have confidence in and if there is a problem, I know YOU can handle it. Ahhhh...just put a toggle switch on the ape hangers and call it a day.....I just got back from filling my gut up with a greasy burger and four Goose IPA drafts. Let's party!----6

Thanks, Ron this one has a 1,000 pound limit, handy thing for doing lots of things.
Got that switch replaced what a bugger, Six yep lets party.

Wish I`d had it the other day when we restored this old corn sheller.

Thanks Jack, I don`t have a vid yet as I have no ear corn.
Ya put a ear of dry ear corn in the top and it takes the kernels off the cob and the corn comes out the bottom and the cob out the end, there`s also a fan at the bottom that blows off the chaff as the corn falls to the pan.

Man, you made quick work of that sheller! It's like I went through a time warp out wheeling yesterday.
I like the bike lift, buddy! I just got one of those cheapie hydraulic bike jacks.
Now I gotta hit the garage to rattle can rock rash and straighten out skid pans. :D

Naw, it ain't too bad haha. Crushed a center cap on one wheel, bunch of rock rash underneath, and bent the skid pan some. Been looking for an excuse to put on a flat skid anyway. The extra clearance will help a lot.
Don't you guys overdo it! I know you got quite a woodpile put up already. There is still some time, take it easy.

Yep I believe it is, do a search on ebay for harbor freight coupons for that lift also.
So far I like it seems to work great. :)
