I could finally polish the rear downpipe, or pretend to wheelie my bike

It's a bit better than the common abba stand, I wants!!

Oh bleedy heck, yes me wants one too

Although you'd want to make sure it was proper secure on the ABBA stand

Seen them before, but not using the abba fittings.
Okay time to price it

Never said it was cheap!

If you're going to put a 12k bike on it, you don't want cheap and nasty underneath

Maybe a consideration that it has 4 points of contact, you'll need a really flat and smooth floor for that to work without any wibble. Or a load of beer mats and don't move it.

Couldn't see how the legs were designed, if it was like a genie superlift it would have a small amount of self levelling

Reckon if you raised the front enough and started it up you could perma-wheelie? Go for a ride at night and you'd look like a hero! Casually waiting at a red light in full wheelie position

God that would make everything too easy!

I enjoy sitting on a cold, concrete floor in the middle of January putting my brakes back on.......

No good for outside my garage then, it'd be down the bottom of the hill if the castor brakes let go, would be a barstad to push back up too
