Exclamation help needed
anybody with a cherry picker (engine hoist) wanna help me out and make some cash...?

need to pick my bike up off the ground so i can put the front wheel back on. my front stand failed while i had the rim off the bike. it's too low to get a jack under it at this point so i need to strap and hoist it up.

luckily i was standing right there about to wire tie my calipers up so they weren't hanging by the brake lines when it happened, so it didn't fall over.

RE: help needed
Get a pair of ratchet straps.
Hook them to the L brackets that hold the garage opener to the ceiling...near where the bolts are.
Make sure they are good bolts/screws going into the support beams.

Attach the other ends to the bike, around the handlebars or triple tree.
Ratchet it up.

Thats what I do when I need to remove the front wheel.

Once done, release the ratchets both at the same time and the bike will drop straight down.


(you need a rear stand to stabilize the bike though)

RE: help needed
nothing can be strapped to the ceiling or otherwise. not my garage so can fuck anything up. it could be done with a 10' strong A frame ladder but i don't have that either. lol i've used one before.

i am in north, just north of the cannery.
