No call for the snotty response.

I took you at your word, here is what you said:

Your idea is clearly not the only real option.

I drive my Streetglide and TriGlide on my Handy Lift with side extensions.
I also have the Trike ramp adapter that make the ramp wider at the rear and has wheel stops built into it.

What model Handy Lift do you have?

I have the SAM 1200, not sure if it would be ok for a Tri Glide (which will be showing up in my garage soon).

Got it, "snotty responses" are only permitted by you and should go unanswered if your intent was to take a pot shot at my attempt to answer the question.

But I meant that in jest. Clearly not the crowd for that.

I ride mine on. The table is it's home so it gets parked on there around 500 times a year.

I have the HF lift, mounted a Wheeldock chock on the front and made a couple walkways out of wood to put along side to put my feed down and just ride it up, works fine but sure would love to have one of those with side panels.
