A winch - I will mount it to the ceiling in my garage for lifting my bikes (when pulling front ends).

Same here I was looking at them last night for under a $100.00 a good 12v so I can use it out in the field on the trailer if I need to get the bike or mower in it. I like this cause of the remote sw. I saw one with a 12 ft. remote but can not find it now. still under $100.00

Should lift the whole bike if you want to put it on a table or bench. I allready have a few slings.

If you see another better deal let me know.

Ok Santa, here's what I really need this year..

New muffler please. New seat, new shocks, new sidecovers.  With a new parakeet yellow gas tank as the (metaphorical) cherry on top.

And I see that big ol' red wing on your hat, but could you find it in your heart to help me figure out what's up with my beemer's transmission?

Thanks buddy.  I'll leave you a cold ipa and a plate of cookies in the usual place.

A helper elf to work on the bike so maybe it would get finished for spring. Santa should be able to spare an elf or two I should think...

I think I'll go it it today!

I do this with an eye hook and a ratchet strap. Though, the controlled descent would be nice to have ;)

What I really want for Christmas is actual shop space. It's a hard knock life being 6'1" working an a basement with 6'0" ceilings. That and being 5' below grade makes getting the bikes in and out interesting. I could really go for a nice two bay garage.

Santa, please bring me a roll on motorcycle lift, strong enough to lift any bike up to Goldwing size. If Ive been a really good boy, make it one that can use compressed air. Thank you Santa :) :) :) :)

Time and Courage.  I have more tools than I will ever use again, and parts are not an issue since I don't have enough time to install the ones I have.   Maybe Santa can bring me the courage to go ahead and retire, therefore giving me the time to do the many projects that float around in my head.

Well being I've split the case on my 750 I sure could use all the roller bearings I need for the trans and since the engine is apart I could use a set of rings, new valves and valve guides, new springs. It's adding up quick. I've already got more tools than I know what to do with but it wouldn't hurt to have a few more as well, you never know when they'll come in handy. :)

Neither, I want a crotch rocket if truth be known. I got pretty much all the parts I need for my cb750 and the KZ I think. Actually more spare time and a crotch rocket and I'd be a happy man, maybe I'll get lucky and there'll be an RC51 under the tree on Xmas morning.

If you see another better deal let me know.

Harbor Freight has one on sale for $79 [was$119] and with coupon it's only $49. I looked at it today, looks decent, but didnt have the coupon with me [it's right by my office so I can go back tomorrow]
I dont care for cheap tools but for something I only will use 5-10 times a year, I will give this a shot. May spring for the extended warranty so when it does fail....

Stev-o Lot of bad reviews most people say there is no mount and bad relays did you see it at the store and how do you get a coupon? But for 49 bucks might be worth a gamble.

Yes, I saw it. The mount is optional ($3.99?) but I just plan to thru bolt it to a 2x6" and lag the board to my ceiling. Like I said, I don't normally buy cheap crap tools, but with the warranty I'll give it a go or just return it.  The coupon was in Sundays paper, but maybe you can find online?

I have been calling Santa at Harbor freight  (AKA Sasha, who knew?) about a  cycle/ atv lift for 2 weeks now, they are only on sale till the end of December. Santa claims the truck comes in and no one knows whats on it, they get what they get, but they haven't had one for weeks. WTF Santa, I'll pay for it , just get it to the store! Trying again tomorrow.
