Will they deliver (as in "drop ship")?

The problem is not high-performance motorcycles. It's low-performance riders...

It's behind Lakeforest Mall.

The web site says the lifts are "overweight items" and subject to $50 delivery surcharge.

May be worth a call to the store. Sometimes, if you order from the store, they'll deliver it to the store for no charge for customer pick-up.

Not exactly what you asked, Henry, but best I can offer.

I ordered mine and had it delivered to the store, no delivery charge.

Here's a Handy lift at a good price. http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/ ... 64136.html

I've been using them for years and can't say enough positive things about them. I tried the Harbor Freight style lift and wouldn't trust my lightweight vintage bikes on them let alone something as substantial as a modern BMW. Then again that's probably because I spend the majority of my time chained to a lift or on the phone explaining to customers why their bike is not yet on one.

We're a fairly busy shop and have one electric and two air lifts. When I finally quit this job and pursue something that's more in line with my other talents and my now dusty law degree... I will have to buy a Handy Lift of my own.
