With that said, I will look for a sturdy lift to lock in place and keep it up right which will allow me to sit on it. Keep the rubber side down!!
I don't blame you a bit. If I was in a situation that prevented me from riding, I still wouldn't sell mine.

I like the idea of this high position motorcycle lift. Better brands than HF may exist. http://www.harborfreight.com/high-po...ift-99887.html

If you don't mind, I think the issue with the youngsters is that they like the status quo. They are facing an aging padre and witnessing the realities of our existence. The motorcycle may be good to keep around for a while, but I do believe that in that situation it's the new experiences and memories that count.

Best of luck in what you do.
