if anyone is looking for a metal dirt bike stand, princess auto will have them on sale for $40 starting jan 9.

no idea of quality, but i am sure it will beat the milk crate stand.

i love my milk crates when they break i just return them to the back of the closest safeway, and get a new one. sorta like recycling, but with a twist. thanx fer the heads up Doug. i might just go take a look on the 9th

wow, people still use milk crates? i was kinda joking about it. it was something we did in the 70s as kids working on our old dirt bikes. one crate for tire and chain work, 2 crates stacked to work on the top end or the carb.

What do bike stands normally cost? You guys think the Princess Auto ones are any good?
Thanks...

Geez, and I was eyeballing the MC jacks for $170 at crappy tire yesterday. $40 is more like it.

Personally, I use a stump. Ive been known to use the hardwood kitchen chairs, but don't tell anyone or Im a dead man

My 5 gallon pail works pretty good.

There is a huge difference between a stand and a jack. I think the stands in question are the aluminium stands that look like a little bar stool with a patch of rubber on top. You have to lift the bike onto the stand.

The jack will lift the bike up with a foot press, and will be built a little more heavy duty. Dirt bikes are so freakin' light anyways, I'll just lift mine up. Wait....most of my dirt bikes have kick stands

PA also carries bike jacks for about $100.

Just picked one up... Seems pretty good to me although I haven't used it yet as I get my bike in a couple weeks.....
