    Motorbike lift techniques - or how to barely not toss one overboard

    Have not had the desire to get one because of the space it takes up. And also I don't mind it so much working on the ground. At some point when I can no longer work at ground level I will have to take it to the professionals.

    There are so many ways of accomplishing this maintenance. I wanted to share what works for me. I used nylon lifting sling with a hoist. The two tiedowns are to keep it balanced. lifting points here and here

    What Did You Get for Christmas?
