Yes - got my eye on one for when I get my new garage/workshop built (... soon ). Sadly the offer will be over by then.
Funnily enough I also had a lawnmower repair day yesterday. Broke down on the final cut last autumn.
New Gearbox, New Clutch Cable, New Drive Belt Guard, New Blade + oil change.
The thing fought me all the way but got it done and the lawn cut.
Would have been a lot easier not to have had to work on it on the ground!

I thought long and hard about a bike ramp, but in the end decided to go for an Abba SkyLift. The big plus point for me is that the bike, when on the SkyLift, can be moved around the shed/garage/workshop. You can also put the bike level, in the wheelie position (front up) or the stoppie position (rear up) for specific kinds of work. The bike can also be lifted from ground level to pretty much eye level if required.

This is of course in addition to the usual functions that the ordinary Abba stand gives you; i.e. the bike is attached to the stand by machined adaptors that normally mount onto the swingarm pivot, but you can also attach the stand to the footrest mounting points (using different adaptors, note) if swingarm removal is required.
I've had to strip the blue Falco almost down to its component parts to clean up the mess made by the acid spill last year, and I shudder to think how I would have coped without the SkyLift.
