Default Never say never - HF Lift Table

Ever since I started the thread about First and Last Visit to Harbor Freight and read all the responses, I saw what a jerk I was.
I still wanted the lift so I called this time and made sure they had one in stock. When I got there the same sales person was at the check out station from my last visit. I went up and offered my apologizies to the clerk and we got in a conversation about some of the other customers she has had to deal with.
To make a long story short, I got to make things right with the clerk and left with the lift table.
For those with the lift and wheel chock pictured below I have two questions, how hard is it to back the bike out of the chock? I was nervous the first time I put the bike on the lift and in the chock and it appears will take alot of effort to back it out? Where do Ultra owners attach the tie down straps on the bike?
Again I want to apologize to everyone on the forum for that thread.
Let the flamming begin if you feel the need.

Props to you for admitting you were wrong and making it right. Very impressive. Nice lift as well!

I have a hf lift and like the lift a lot, the rear plate will come out, you will want to buy a small scissor jack as a back up...

First move your pivot bolt on the cholk to the lowest hole and your effort will be greatly reduced

Not an ultra but a SG with lowers and I put the straps on the handlebars

I have an ultra and could never find a good place to tie it off. Kuryakyn makes some chrome tie-down plates that bolt on where the fairing supports mount. They work great and keep the straps away from all the shiny stuff.
