Hey guys and gals , my name is Rick . I am the proud owner of a 2000 Honda Valkyrie Interstate and my son just got a 2006 Honda Goldwing . Been owner of many Honda's throughout my life . Glad to be on board . Came here after doing a search for the Harbor Freight 1000lb Motorcycle Lift Table . And found some interesting info here , so I thought I might as well join up . Looks like a good place to read and learn . Thanks ! Click on my FB Video to get a look at my bike if you like .
