Default Trike lift coming soon!

My dad is gettin up there in age and is gonna be gettin his first trike soon. But, of course the old bugger still wants to do some of his own maintenance...

I got my bike lift from J&S (best purchase next to my motorcycle) and was so impressed by not only thier product, but also their knowledge and passion for cycling. I called them up to ask if they knew of a trike lift on the market and sure enough. They are comin out with their own!

Just wanted to give you guys a heads-up. The J&S shop is only about a half hour from where I live and Steve invited me up to see the new trike lift. My dad is gonna love this thing. Easy to use for old coots who still want to service their toys and still has the best stability just like their big wheel motorcycle lift.

Guess they're comin out with a fancy new website soon so keep your eyes peeled on J&S Jacks!

Thanks for making trike ownership sound like going out for your first package of Depends.....

I got my "first trike" as a young (ish) guy without any medical problems. Is that allowed?

Sorry man. I didn't mean it to sound like that. I guess I just mentioned it because compared to my dad's current Harley, the Tri Glide is a lot easier on him. I didn't mean any disrespect.

They're in Appleton. http://jsjacks.com/index.php/contact-us.html
I seriously can't say enough good things about these guys. I have a buddy in Louisiana whose house was flooded by a hurricaine this summer. His J&S lift was submerged in water. He says it still works perfect and there's not a hint of rust on it (I believe it!).

No disrespect taken. Simply poking at the stereotype....

Wow that thing is expensive. And looks like it would take up a lot of space.
