I know its ugly, but it sure beats paying 40 bucks for one. Cost me $8 and some time after school. :)

nahhh, i'll tell you whats better than milk crates or a bucket...

You know those little hard plastic step stools from Lowes or Home Depot?

Those acutally work good as a stand, and if you haul your bike in a truck, its also good to unload with haha

Most of mine bend in and collapse with my big bikes, Work awesome for minis tho. Or maybe I just need some heavier ones.

I'd like to try the ones from lowes you guys are talking about tho. I was just in their tonight!

gah, if i made the top of our wood stand more than 15 inches id have no back left. I can barely get my yz250 on it, and i cant imagine anything above 15 inches.

haha yeah, its 18 inches, getting my kx up their isnt a problem, but the xr80 and my pitbike require some extra effort. lol
