Until you've experienced the thrill of lowering a 900 motorcycle on a lift, sliding the lift out from under it with one foot, while balancing said 900 pound motorcycle from the right side and trying to remember if you put the side stand down as you lean it over to the left, you don't know what spine-tingling really means.

I'm OC so I can't see forgetting the side stand. Probably check it 4 or 5 times just to be sure. Then once more in case. Detective Monk has nothing on me. I'm thinking, lower it until it's almost all the way down, then stand on the left side to guide it the rest of the way. OTOH, it's been years since I put anything on a lift so I've probably got the sequence wrong.

I can see it now. Chris is so OC about the side stand he rides off with the adapter still hooked to the underside of the bike.

Figured you were too busy ironing your socks, you didn't notice.

I could hear Abe Lincoln on that nickle in your pocket screaming, "Uncle!"

Just ordered my lift from Harbor Freight for the $59.99 price with the coupon code. Total with tax and shipping was $69.38. What a deal!
