Reminds me of JRK & RedRubicon muscling his bike up on to his milk crate, jury rigged bike table.

Hmmm...

If the 3 "boxes" were like Russian dolls they could nest inside one another for storage...

It looks like it will serve its purpose just fine. I would look at getting one of the cheap HF front wheel chocks, would make life easier while putting the straps on.

I don't really see where there is that much of a safety issue, use your head loading and unloading and you will be fine. Those motorcycle jacks and lifts are not fool proof either.

Hey Qtrracer I think your pop and mine must have been best friends, mine also would tell me what I was doing wrong.
