;D  Well to make you feel good about yourself and to make your life feel better, met us at the highway on Friday afternoon and give me your credit card and authorization of use and I'll make you feel like you actually went.....

I've got six kids.  My card is maxxed out. And I don't feel like I actually went.  I just feel like I was taken.

The money you railroaders get paid you could pay for like 8 of them on a weekends wage, running from Toronto to Chartier

Well, that's another thing that makes me feel so old. The guilt of taking home all that excess money.  ;)

And it's hard to make the Bike Shows with all that weekend work.

I like the LegUp since it would allow me to still ride my bike on two wheels instead of having to go with a trike or sidecar when I can't keep my balance, or more likely, when I just can't pick my bike up after losing my balance.

It is a great idea and I have seen one of their old designs in action and it is great to be able to stay on two wheels.

There are other landing gear alternatives and many individuals have probably built their own.

That's what I would do just for the fun of it.   8)

Alright, because I'm cheap.  ;)

Or, another way to go for the budget-minded rider. . . . .

That's called a Hoyer Lift.  I had to learn to use one for my wife.

There is a product for every need.  Need some help getting back up on your bike?

only issue with that is if you need this you might not be able to get down there to see the sight glass......lol...or it might take you a long while........

Getting down is the easy part!  It's getting back up that's the real job!

This would also help when doing oil changes so you can see when you are properly filled in the site gauge.

The two guys I know who use similar products are in their 30's - military injuries. I can see this has benefits for long hauls, smaller people, people with missing limbs, bad knees, etc as well.  Personally, I am both "older" and lazy... and this is cheaper than a trike!
