Motorcycle Ramps For Pickups

I travel by bicycle for a friend and it is quite heavy, I'm just a plank of wood would do, but I wanted to hear from someone who regularly carries their bikes. Thank you.

I used the same 2X10 years. I bought an aluminum frame that bolts on the map hangs on the tailgate. He managed all of Harleys Honda CB900customs held with full fairings, and bags. The only thing I want to do is put a ring on the underside of the ramp. I can attach a strap to tie it and connect it to the bumper or hitch. In this way, the board can be detached from the tailgate when loading or unloading.

aluminum ladder with your friend.
Park with the tailgate on a slow scale up on the driver's side and push it up, it will take measures
Riding the bike diagonally from the passenger side and put the kickstand down,
Attach a rope or a strap for the corner of the bed and neck.
Prepare the node, but push the fork down to take the bike on.
Tail Gate site.

If you have a place down like a shallow ditch. You can back your truck at the corner to make less steep. I would also recommend that you use 2 or 3 2 "x12" s with a pair of 2x4 "s nailed on the back for stability and a place to put your feet in case you get the balance increasing. It is better to use wide metal ramps.

I used wooden planks and ramps designed for this purpose. I even manhandled the bike in the truck ... with the help of friends of course. Whatever works.

Your friend needs to buy some motorcycle loading ramps.
Do not use a wooden board. using a wooden board is asking for trouble.

You can buy metal railings that are made exactly for this purpose. Check local bike dealer or auto parts store.

I use an old door.
