Hi everyone,
Sorry I've not been round that much lately - life has been a bit busy.

Sorry I've not been round that much lately - life has been a bit busy.
Preamble:
- One of the many projects that has been keeping me busy is that I've been building a new Garage/Workshop and it's nearly finished.
I promised myself that when its done, I'll treat myself to a hydraulic workbench as working on my bikes on the floor is less fun than it used to be.
I was originally looking at the big table-type things .... but they do take up a lot of space.
I was then attracted to the things like the Abba SkyLift - especially when I saw that the AP Workshop Facebook Group were exploring a Group Buy (those SkyLifts are pretty pricey).
I was put off of this when I discovered that of all the bikes in our household, the Falco is the only one the SkyLift can be used for. I need something that can cope with my Aprilias, a couple of classic Hondas and my son's maxi scooter
I've searched a bit further and discovered .....
- A company called Quasar Products produces a "SkyLift" style product that appears more robust, claims to work with any bike (with adapters), and is a better price.
They are located in Tamworth and have been building these things for many, many years. My spies in Tamworth have no direct experience of them but have heard no cautionary tales.
So, I'll probably be going for one.
Knowing that many of the people on Ridersite are probably not as keen as they once were to be working on the floor and have a variety of bikes (collectively and some individually), I wondered if there would be any interest in exploring the possibility of a Group Buy to get the costs down (or the various adapters thrown in or something).
I've not contacted the company yet as I thought I'd:- a) check there are still people on the forum
b) whether there is any interest.

The one I'm looking at is the EazyRizer Red (the cheaper one) - a) check there are still people on the forum
