So why didn't you just buy a cheap Japanese knockoff of a Harley and you could have saved even bigger $$ ??

My neighbor down the street has a mini forklift in his garage that will lift a car.
I guess per your thinking I should buy one of those for $5000 because it's better than the Pit Bull jack.

At the end of the day we all work for the money we have and we all spend it on what we want.

You want to spend your money on a $450 jack that's your choice and given what you need a jack for it's probably the right decision, but for 70+% of the Harley owners out there a $59 jack works just fine and why that matters to you I'm not sure.

Makes him feel better about himself.

Sometimes it's just a case of more dollars than sense...(cents/sense...get it?)
