Good to know about the fancy aluminum one, I almost popped the extra dollars for it.
I've had no issues with the cheaper yellow one.
yeah, I had a friend that had the aluminum one,
saw his bike swaying on that thing and said....nope not that one...

haven't had any problems with the yellow one, 'course it's not a daily user, but the more than several times I've used it..no worries..

The jack would be easy enough to replace with a "good" one.

Just Kidding.

We do as a country need to look out for our own interest. But even American Corporations are not looking out for the long haul for the good of the country.

Agreed. Lets just hope people know how to vote to avoid this. It seems most bikers don't, which I've always found very hypocritically strange. But whatever....lets talk about ******* and beer (oh, and motorcycle jacks).
