All good stuff thanks fellas....Thinking I'll go to harbor freight for the dolly, just like the idea getting it off the concrete, although I keep moving blankets under her. Also with the wheels on the dolly might be able to tuck her in the corner better than on the side stand. Then might be able to get wife truck back in garage...LOL

That would probably be the best reason too.

I should post up a pic of my garage. First off, my garage is about a stall and a half. It is only a stall wide and 1 1/2 car lengths deep. I have (2) work benches, Tool chest, air compressor, table saw, 6" belt sander, router table, bench grinder on it's own stand, gas grill, two garbage cans, bike on lift, two commercial 60" zero turn mowers, 8hp Ariens snow blower and a 2001 Chev Impala in my garage. And they all fit. My garage is packed tighter than a frog's @$$. LOL

used my red sears jack for 15 months while deployed. no issues, kept it in the "locked" position and used the tie downs. makes it easy to move around outta the way.

Harbor frieght no longer carries the dolly mentioned above. I have been searching for months for one with little luck. Finally found one at a local dealer for 100.00, but even that had to be modified to use with my J&S Jack. Wifes Deluxe is on it now, while her tank is at the painters. it does allow me to move the bike anywhere I want with no problems. Helps to be able to put 2 bikes in the space that one would have taken.

I pump up the tires to 45psi and have it parked on a piece of carpet to get it off the cold cement. Once a month I move it a little to prevent the possibility of flat spotting the tires. Or if the weather is nice like yesterday I take it out for a ride....but today it is snowing.
