I have a couple of those scissor lifts, virtually identical to that. I was using them to lift a Saab I was working on, I could get one side up far enough to then sit cross-legged and comfortably work on a sill or changing a wheel bearing etc. I think they are rated at 500kg each so easily lift a bike.

I fancy buying a Triumph, having sat on a couple and found that they meet my comfort requirements. Both the Bonneville and Speed Triple seemed adequate to me. My old man had a couple of Speed Twins, so I will be carrying on a familial tradition.

In what category are you wondering then? Wants would be...not too massive and heavy, ABS, maneuverable, decent quality, relatively upright riding position, not some ultra rare thing that costs a fortune to have fixed.

It was officially rather chilly riding down to my mum's today. Even with the heated jacket cause my legs got cold. I've got some chinky doodah copies of the V-strom handguards to fit for winter, but forgot to order the longer pivot bolts for the levers they attach too, so they aren't on yet, meanin...

I was unsure and thought it might be from something industrial, like a fork lift truck.

I'll pop this engine on here, I noticed it on FB marketplace. No doubt one of you nutters will soon be able to identify it! I like a mystery guessing game.
