Same here. There's a store 15 miles from me (never been there, didn't even know it was there) and mine got sent from CA, too. Seems they could have saved some money if they sent them from the nearest stores. They have to be losing money shipping a 70# box for $7US.

You DID remember to take a pic, right? Of the "young lady"? Without pics, it didn't happen.

Thats most likely the warehouse that they ship from in Ca. Its amamzing how that can get shipped for $7.00, but the post office and UPS charge a lot more for shipping much smaller items.

Is that the house that Jack built?

Several years ago, Pep Boys had a special on the same jack, Torin Jacks Inc., Big Red Motorcycle Jack, for $45.00 . It's been a good jack and well worth the money if you do any work on your bike.

As a matter of fact the builders name was jack

Bike is in the air

Seems like there are only two speeds to lower it: Yikes, and Holy CRAP! It's pretty exciting...

I guess I can remove the plastic wrap from the handle now

Monkeyman · 01-12-2012, 11:40 PM

Conco75 --- That's not the exact same jack but looks very close. Maybe a bit sturdier. Good price.

**ringadingh** · 01-12-2012, 11:58 PM

Its amazing how they can sell them at that price. You certainly coudn't build one for near that.

blowndodge · 01-13-2012, 12:04 AM

It's the same one I got!

Thanks for the heads up on the two speeds for lowering the bike. When I get to use mine I'll keep it on the yikes setting. The holy crap one might drop the bike to quick.

First, MAKE SURE THE KICKSTAND IS DOWN!!! Then hold on to the bike and mash your foot on the pedal. Mine's been up and down more than my 1st ex wife and the bike hasn't fallen over yet. old c is definitely correct, though. Really Fast and You've Got To Be Kidding.

You DID get one of Idahos Jack Adapters, didn't you? If so, you'll need a few pieces of 2x8s or 2x10s. The whole assembly won't fit under the bike unless it's on the 2x?s. I found some scraps at Menards for .29 each. One each for the tires and one under the kickstand. I got 2x8s but I'll probably go back and see if I can find some 2x12 scraps. Once on the ground, the bike slid off the edge of one of the 2x8s. Didn't hurt anything but I still didn't like it.

Fedex delivered mine Saturday. We also have a store within an hour drive but it was shipped from California also.
