  • Publication number: 20100003455
    Abstract: A vegetation prevention device and method includes a sheet of material having a thickness sufficient to stop vegetation growth. The sheet forms an aperture that fits about a cross section of the fencepost. An optional slit extends from the aperture to an outer rim of the sheet. Bending the sheet at the slit opens the sheet so that the fencepost may pass through the slit and the aperture may be arranged about the fencepost. Caulking may optionally be applied about the fencepost and/or to seal up the slit.

  • Publication number: 20050121867
    Abstract: A motorcycle stand lifts and supports a motorcycle or other wheeled vehicle, and is suitable for uses such as training, display, detailing, maintenance, testing, and sales demonstrations. The stand has a base, two axle support members each including a support fixture, one or more handles, and two or more wheels coupled with the base. Lifting the handles and rolling the stand on the wheels enables positioning of the support fixtures underneath a motorcycle's rear axle. Lowering the handles until the base is flush with the ground raises the support fixtures and the motorcycle's rear axle, such that the rear wheel of the motorcycle is off the ground and rotatable between the axle support members.
