Yeah Point...thats wonderful....except your garage is bigger than my house and we dont all have hydraulic engine hoists just hanging around

The pipe and 2x8 lift is $20 or less. NOTHING can compete with that price point unless you already have better equipment IMHO.

Tocsik, I have a second threaded flange on the opposite side so I can just screw in a 30" section of pipe once the bike is up.

I know this isnt a "new" idea, but it is new to me, and the simplicity/cost/benefit ratio makes it even better.
