It's that time of year again! ATV'ers, UTV'ers...and any other OHRV'ers are gearing up to explore the vast miles of wilderness through a great network of recreational vehicle trails we've established here in NH.

Thanks to Darin, in Ramsey, Minnesota, for the great feedback he left on our Facebook page about his PRO 2500 high rise motorcycle lift!

He said, "I love my motorcycle lift we got from you guys!!!!" and posted this nice photo of his ride, a 2006 Yamaha Roadliner, which is says, is "a beast and the Pro2500 works great!!!!" UPDATE: We received 2 more nice photos from Darin and Rhonda! Darin says, "Here we are doing the clutch on an 88 FXRS So nice that it can be safe at multiple heights to be able to work on them not only comfortably but also safe with the multiple locking heights." X  We are glad you are happy with the lift, Darin, thanks again for your feedback and for posting the awesome photo!

Thanks to Buster at Milbury Cycles in Berwick, Maine for the pic posted to our Facebook page. He tells us he had "no problem getting this on the 1200" and says of the lift, "It's working out great. I have a small one man shop and have been using a Handy Sam for many years, As business has grown I've needed a second lift for more then a few years but with the fear that I would lose bike parking space. With a really productive winter rebuild season and having a 2016 Road Glide on my lift for a month with extensive work and bikes waiting to be worked on I knew it was time to quit screwing around and not worrying about parking space. Thanks for a great deal."

Jerry in Lake Park, Florida sent this great photo of his wife's 2010 Harley Fatboy Lo on the PRO 1200 Motorcycle Lift. He says, "She let's me ride it, too!"

And, about the lift, he says: "I put it to use right away, changed front tires on two different bikes. It was delivered just a few miles from the house and I picked it up at the loading dock, it was packed real secure. It will be getting a lot of use as we have 4 motorcycles in the garage." Thanks, Jerry

Dan left some nice comments on our Facebook page about a Rolling Toolbox he purchased from us a couple of years ago....Thanks, Dan! "I purchased a 72" Extreme box from you two year ago and i couldn't be happier with it. Looking to buy another in the near future."

Thanks to Brian J., of Fairfield, Connecticut, for his review of the PRO 1200 Motorcycle Lift and this great pic of a '49 Pan Head that he is restoring! Check out part 2 of his review below where he briefly describes why it was named "Hydraglide," and some detail about his project. “Love my new lift. Looks like its built better than the three lifts the bike shop uses in my building. Got this lift to restore a ’49 Hydraglide. Only put it up ‘n down a dozen time before the bike is totally in pieces. Now it’s my work bench lol. Would highly recommend it to anyone or any shop.” He added: “It’s actually ’49 Harley Pan Head. Called a Hydraglide because its the first year Harley used telescopic / hydraulic front end. Up until 1949 all front ends were springers. Guess you can call it a barn find. Widow of owner sold it to me. Very rough condition but all original. Must have been sitting at least 20 years last time it was moved. Will be a long process but that’s all the fun.”

Jeremy says of his PRO 1200, "It's fantastic! Fits all the bikes well; makes work an ease. Very happy with it." As for the bike, he's doing a little spring maintenance! He tells us, "That's my 2002 H-D Sportster, modded to 1250cc but originally an 883 Standard."

We want to thank Jim at 603 Baggers for his review of the Elevator 1100SEMAX Motorcycle Lift Table (he says it's "Excellent, I love it!") - and thanks for all these photos he posted of various HD bikes on the lift!! (Shown from top to bottom: 2012 HD Roadglide, 2001 HD Sportster, 2006 HD Streetglide, and 2015 HD Roadglide.)

Robert kindly left us a wonderful review on our Facebook page today - he purchased the Elevator 1100MAX Motorcycle Lift yesterday and got it up and running in record time! He gave us some great feedback, here's what he said about our service: I am sending a BIG THANK YOU to Mr. Clark Heintz for working around my schedule at SECOND SHIFT CYCLES for taking time out of his Sunday to help me out. Thank u sir !!!!! Looking forward to LOTS OF FUTURE BUSINESS. YOU ARE A TRUE GENTLEMAN !!!!!!! Of the lift, he says, "I love it !!! The air piston design is the BEST I lifted and lowered the lift over 10 times !!!! Setting it up, my compressor did not cycle 1 time !!!!! My other 2 lift have air behind piston which is VERY POOR - an incredible WASTE OF AIR ! SECOND SHIFT CYCLES will be REPLACING the OTHER 2 LIFTS, which 1 is a HANDY and other is a DIRECT LIFT. By far at this point . Time will tell. But this ELEVATOR 1100 IS A SUPERIOR LIFT. Thanks again looking forward to MANY YEARS OF BUSINESS WITH YOU. Thanks again for sharing your feedback with us, Robert!

Thanks again to Robert for not only leaving us a glowing review on our website, but for sharing the photos of your bike on the lift! Great to see that the lift has been working out for you!
