Been a while, but the last couple years have been a bit different for a lot of us. Liking that HF high lift jack? I got one several years ago and if I could only have one jack, it would be a tough decision between that and my conventional bike jacks. Sure is nice to sit on a stool with that and the bike at a comfortable level when getting behind a primary cover. If only it would roll with a bike on it, though I've seldom moved a bike on a jack anyway.

I forgot about this bike! Glad to know you're still rolling it. I saw my old quote here and wanted to update it: About 6-8 months ago I was at my local Indy shootin the **** with the owner/mechanic and I told him this story. He asked me to describe the bagger, which I did, and he said "That's my bike. That was me."
